Debian successor to Lenny - a three-eyed space alien

Debian team is infamous for sticking to hard to remember names for each of its releases. Thankfully, they have stuck to one theme while naming the distribution releases - that of the "Toy Story" movie. Each release is named after a character in the Toy Story movie.

So you have Sid, Lenny, Etch, Sarge, Woody, Potato and so on. The following is the explanation given by the Debian team regarding these names. So now with the impending official release of Lenny as a stable version, it is now the turn of the next build of Debian in Sid to be promoted to Testing and it has been named Squeeze (after the three-eyed monster in Toy Story).

Read the official Debian announcement to know more.

Introducing New Commenting System

Your favorite Linux and Open Source blog has gained a new commenting system. It will be in a test phase for some time before it will be made a permanent feature of this blog.

Taking into consideration the less than friendly and rather inflexible commenting system provided by blogger.com, I have always been on the lookout for a third party commenting system which I can integrate with this blog.

And I found the answer in Disqus.com which is a commenting system which is rich in features such as threading, easy moderation and integration with the template. So do tell me your thoughts on the new system of commenting. This new commenting system is enabled for posts starting with this one and the older posts will still retain all the comments and moderation that Blogger provides.

Of course if this doesn't work out, we always have the choice of rolling back to the original blogger way of commenting. Btw, I will be replying to comments as 'ravik' instead of 'ravi' because the user name ravi was already taken.

Browse the Web in Konqueror using only the keyboard

KDE Konqueror is much more than a file manager. It is also a standards compliant web browser. Here is a neat trick to surf the web sans the mouse - that is, using just your keyboard.

Fire up Konqueror in Linux, FreeBSD or what ever OS you are running that has KDE installed. Konqueror usually opens in File browsing mode. Type in the address of the website you wish to view, in the Address bar - for instance http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com and press Enter key.

Here is the interesting part ... Once the website loads itself, tap on the 'Ctrl' key once to activate the "Access Keys" and Konqueror will label each link in the web page with unique alphabetic characters. You can follow the link in the web browser by just tapping the corresponding character associated with the link.

Tapping once more on the 'Ctrl' key will deactivate the "Access Keys".

How is that for mouse free web browsing ? To get an idea of how it looks on screen, view the following screenshot...
