A better way to do Upstart configurations.

How to Ubuntu my Airbook, should it ever come to that.

Proposal to move Ubuntu to Gentoo-style continuous integration/release. I like it.

At least Canonical's getting their DevOps hustle on.

This is what happens when the MAC address of a VM is not what the guest OS expects.

More LXC notes.

Potentially good Upstart docs!

`sudo locale-gen "$LANG"` is the answer when everyone's yelling about "can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct" and apt-get's perl calls are throwing warnings.

Regarding using Debian alternatives for /usr/bin/ruby: smart move but one that's going to cause issues as the owner of /usr/bin/ruby changes.

Regarding /usr/local/bin/gem: this is terrible and stupid. System packages use --prefix=/usr. It's a slippery slope to go back on this now.

Regarding continued stupidity with the ruby1.9.1 and libruby1.9.1 packages: there's plenty of blame to go around but these should be ruby1.9 and libruby1.9, damn the consequences.

Canonical's cluster management software. A nice complement to cloud-init.

If I don't pull the trigger and get a Thinkpad I'll be Bootcamping my next Mac to run Ubuntu.

The Right Way is sucky. True enough, though, if you want `pip uninstall ...` to work.

Ubuntu's cloud provisioning stuff seems pretty polished.

Debian/Ubuntu preseeds through Puppet.

For when I need to build old software.

The right way to setup iptables rules at boot.

Upstart config files are not scripts. Repeat after me.

I always have to look up how to do this.

No more package name guesswork.
