Hey folks. It’s interesting how difficult it was for me to get Rails up and running on Lighttpd. I’ve tried lot’s and lot’s of tutorials, but none of them seemed fit to me. I came up with this solution, wich is actually a merge of lot’s tips. Feel free to contribute, and I hope that this helps you out.

1) First, include UNIVERSE on your sources.list. It is located on /etc/apt/sources.list. If you are unsure, take a look at this web-site. It may help you out. Remember to sudo, or be root to do everything Read more…

Powered by Ubuntu Stickers

February 24th, 2007 Dante Regis No comments

The local Ubuntu teams of various countries are giving free* stickers stamped with “Powered by Ubuntu”. It’s quite like those Intel(r) Pentium(r) 4 Inside, “Designed for Windows XP” sort of thing.
Now, the asterisk (*) on “free” is there because you pay the posting expenses. You get an envelope and adress it to your self, for it will be used by the Ubuntu Team to send the stickers to you. Place on this envelope enough stamps to pay the trip. Then you get another envelope and fill you as the sender and the ubuntu team as the receiver. Place the first envelope (it’s stamped, isn’t it?) inside this new one. Stamp the new one and send to the Ubuntu Team.
After a few weeks you should receive back 4 stickers like those described above.
