Linux Photo Management

For the recent Holiday, I managed to get a lovely new camera. A Fuji FinePix F50fd. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with my old camera, which I liked quite a bit, it was getting a bit worn, and some of the features on the new Fuji are great.
With the new camera comes the age old problem: How to manage all the photos I take with it. Read on for my thoughts on Linux software for photo management and plea to readers for better ideas...

libvirt is pretty cool
Keywords:
libvirt KVM Virtual Linux Fedora vmware
In the past for running virtual machines on my laptop, I had just used a command line using the kvm tool. It worked pretty well, although it had some quirks and limitations. With the recent re-install of my laptop, I decided to check out libvirt and see how easy it was to get working.
Turns out it works quite nicely... read on for more info on my libvirt adventures...

Fedora Linux Tech Encrypted-root F8
Last Thursday several big events occurred:
- Fedora 8 - Werewolf was released on the world. This was a pretty smooth and good release cycle I think. If you haven't tried a Fedora release in a while, this would be one to check out.
- My laptop drive started having uncorrectable read errors, which made it less than happy running. It would hit one of those sectors, and then go into a infinite loop of resets and drive access.
Clearly this was a sign that I should do a fresh F8 install on a new drive, and also try out Sean's root encryption HOWTO. Read on for more information about encrypted root filesystem installs.

a week in #fedora
Keywords:
communication, Fedora, IRC, support, Tech
Since I have been involved in Fedora development, I have spent time in some of the Fedora IRC channels over on irc.freenode.net where a lot of the Fedora development takes place. Last week there was some discussion about the main #fedora channel, where end users come to seek help. So, I decided to hang out there for a week and see if I could help out.

It's been a while since I posted anything. Been very busy, and then last week I was out on vacation in lovely Durango, CO. Once I got back I decided that I should upgrade my FC-6 machines here to F-7. Being the tinkerer I am, I elected to try upgrading via yum. Read on for my experiences with upgrading 3 machines.
