Slackware 10.2 on IBM/Lenovo X41

I installed slackware 10.2 on my brand new IBM/Lenovo X41 everythng works great and is supported except the fingerprint strip for wich UPEK should release a driver for BIO-API. I only had to compile the latest X from Xorg cvs to have some hardware acceleration support for the Intel 915 chipset. Even the docking station is supported through acpi , you can dock/undock by command line. I the best reference i found to download and configure software packages to support most off the hardware is HERE
I hope this helps all off you to install linux on a X41

My first mail server with webmail

I was contacted by some friends to configure a mail server for providing SMTP/POP3 & webmail service. For several domains. The machine is a nice new HP DL360 with 2 72GB 10K rpm SCSI disks in RAID1. The OS I used is Slackware 10.2
with Postfix, courier-imap, amavisd-new with Spamassassin clamav, Sqwebmail
The only thing I've still have to decide is the configuration/management tool for configuring virtual domains and mail-boxes for the postfix installation. I looked on the postfix website in the add-ons section and am evaluating vipadmin an postfix-manager. I'm currently awaiting to have the server connected to the internet

Back to school

I decided to start studying once again , an to get my graduate in informatics at the university of Milan. Since I'm currently working full-time I will follow the courses in the evening after office hours. this for 3 years, it won't be easy. But I just have to got that paper. Wish me luck :)

Qemu - PC Emulator

Ho yeah,
I'm back again , I just discovered QEmu an open source pc emulator wich runs realy good. I did some tests and emulated a pc and installed windows , BSD.
All ok cool monitor features like screendumps , memory dumps etc.
You can also just emulate aprocessor not a whole system but didn't figured out how to do this (I'm quite lame to read all the documentation i generally skip to the quick start section ;) )

But anyhow this software has convinced me, i plan to try install OS X on an emulated PPC machine (yes it also emultates PPC, X86, X86_64, SPARC)
