UPDATE 1: The currently used CAPT driver since version 2.0 is 2.00 which adds support for Canon LBP6300dn and Canon LBP9100Cdn. Also a new script has been added to the archive to handle the driver uninstall process. After I bought Riker , when it came to installing Ubuntu I had two options: either install the i386 [...]

13 days ago I’ve bought another computer, thus reaching to number 3. My home network architecture is pretty simple: As you might have noticed, my computers are named after Star Trek: The Next Generation characters. Let me describe them in their chronological order.

Although the subject isn’t new any more, the online journalists still talk and write about it like it’s the only [...]

After I had installed Firefox 3.6 on my Ubuntu machines I noticed that when I would want to open the FTP bookmarks saved in Nautilus those targets would open in tabs from Firefox. The problem with this approach was that I couldn’t edit files (create, update, delete) the way I could with Nautilus. After some [...]

UPDATE: The script should also work with 2.6.32 kernels from version 1.2.
