Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Administration Unleashed
This is amazing to me, I laughed so hard when I read this story. You can read the email and response here.
Basically, a student was showing off Linux at school and the teacher became enraged and accused the student of illegal activites because there’s no such thing as “free” software… ha. What a freaking joke…
Basically yesterday and today all of the Google services I know and love and use all the time are either slow as hell or don’t load at all. It doesn’t matter what service it is, Gmail, Search, Maps, Reader, or News all of these and more are very slow to load and sometimes Gmail won’t even log me into my inbox.
I’ve tried accessing these services on different computers and nothing seems to help.
Google, if you read this, please determine if it’s on your end (and fix it). If not, I’m sure it’s something with my regional internet access.
I noticed that after installing the latest Fedora release (Fedora 10 Cambridge) Firefox was quite slow at accessing web pages. I found that if you go into about:config and find this string:
network.dns.disableIPv6
You can set this to true, which will disable IPv6 lookups and make your web browsing much quicker.
Hope this helps.
