Interview: Linux Mint founder

Funny :P Clement Lefebvre actually started using Slackware Linux in 1997, just like me :)

sshlog v1.6

Bash scripts for generating and viewing simplified SSH access-logs in a console.

My reason for creating sshlog (and consequently sshloglist and sshlogviewer) was to have an easily available command-line toolchain, capable of generating and viewing simplified SSH access-logs through a console (plain-text interface, usually SSH+Bash).

sshlog generates a logfile based on command-line options given, then pipes the results to sshlog-viewer. Or, it can simply pipe the results into a timestamped text-logfile, in a directory called "ssh-logs" in your home-directory.

sshloglist is used to generate a box-based, selectable list of the logs already present in the ssh-logs directory, when a log is selected, it pipes the selected list filename to sshlog-viewer.

sshlogviewer is a box-based log-viewer interface. It prints the content from a given sshlog (from a datastream piped directly by sshlog, or given as a filename at the command-prompt or by sshlog-list). It then lets you flip through the sshlog-pages with the Page Up and Page Down keys. Press 'q' to quit (using less, if dialog is not installed) or spacebar/enter to press the "OK" button (using sshlog-viewer + dialog).

As easy as Ubuntu

Ok, I'll have to admit.., I refused for quite some time to take Ubuntu Linux for a serious test-drive due to bad experiences with the distro while it was in it's alfa and beta-stages. But since then, Ubuntu has come a looooooong way. So, I decided I'd take Ubuntu 9.04 for a spin.

It's still kind of bleeding edge with regards to compositing and visual effects, but they do work out-of-the-box. And hey, if things work...why fix them? On compositing and the like, I consider compiz as an extraordinary piece of rendering-code, but I also think it's too unstable for everyday production-use.

Ubuntu's UI has undergone major modifications to better suit it's userbase requirements, and I like it :)

Ubuntu's updating and upgrading facilities have also been much improved, with the addition of a scanning-tool to determine if you have hardware-components that has alternative proprietary drivers available, and lets you activate them with simple mouseclicks.

Easy Peasy v1.5 (formerly Ubuntu Netbook Remix) is a distribution developed with netbooks and net-tops in mind.

Focused on low-power consumption and simple apps for simple tasks, it's actually a rather comprehensive collection of software compared to many other netbook-flavours.

Lightning fast and with an intuitive and stylish interface, it does what it sets out to do, and more!

My Asus Eee 900 netbook had Xandros installed by default, but this distro did not let me do the things I usually do on a Linux-workstation, like: programming, compiling, scripting, etc.

In addition to be very restrictive, it was also heavily modified from it's Debian codebase, and was thus very hard to customize and proved a challenge in adding new and unusual software to.
