Installing Banshee: Linux Alternative to iTunes on Fedora Core 6

Banshee can be found on Fedora Core 6 Extra repository

1. # yum -y install banshee

Banshee by default doesnt have gstreamer mp3 plugin support. First install gstreamer-plugins-bad and gstreamer-plugins-ugly. We must have the repository from Freshrpms

2. wget http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/6/
freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm

3. rpm -ihv freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm

4. yum -y install gstreamer-plugins-bad

5. yum -y install gstreamer-plugins-ugly

That's it!!! You have now mp3 support!!!

7.1 Taiwan Earthquake Damages Philippines Internet Link

THE 7.1 magnitude earthquake that struck Taiwan early Wednesday damaged the Philippines internet link. This causes some services to be unaccessible.. even internet cafe's were forced to close their shops.

Affected telecommunications companies/ISP were Globe Telecommunications, BayanTel, Digitel, Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co., Pacific Internet, and Eastern Telecom.

It seems that even the internet is vulnerable to disruption of service. As of 12:40pm, some of the connections was restored and some still experiencing intermittent internet connections.

Fedora Core 6 Zod, CentOS Enterprise Linux 4.4 and SNORT Intrusion Detection System

Last night I burned DVD copy of Fedora core 6 and CentOS 4.4 installers. i will install(nth time) a dual boot system of a Windows and Fedora OS. As soon as my common apps will run on Linux.. i will ditch my Windows installation. I'm not that novice on using Linux as a desktop.
I've posted a Howto in Batangas Open Source Society Tech Blog on how to generate a pdf log report of SNORT using SnortAlog and will rotate your Snort log automatically.
