The jewel in the crown of Samizdata.net
A blog for people with a critically rational individualist perspective. We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR
[Russ.,= self-publishing house]
There is much to find for those who look

Our Debian Linux-based server is undergoing a software update this afternoon (GMT) so please excuse us if any problems arise. Remote system upgrades are always "interesting" affairs.

Time passes...

All clear. Other than one near disaster with a critical library that got automatically de-installed when it shouldn't, all seems to have gone smoothly.

Go, Debian!

I just installed Libranet 2.7, a Debian-based desktop Linux. Wish 63-year olds like me were more Linux aware!

I read your blog every day if I can.

Men(?) ... Samizdata must be a male-oriented org, then ??

MommaBear, this refers solely to our server guru, who is a man although sometimes it's hard to believe he is a mere mortal!
