I just released a set of scripts that come in handing when creating clean images for virtual environment, heck you can even use it for cloud images.
What they do is:
There are scripts for: CentOS 6, Debian and OpenSuse.
They can be be found in the tools section or in github.
I normally try to stick to posting original content on my site, but I ran across this post today while doing some research for the Hacker High School project.
It presents a really well structured analysis of the communities that support and give life to the main Cloud Computing projects: OpenStack, CloudStack, Eucalyptus and OpenNebula. All the information was extracted from public forums and code management systems.

I’m impressed how some software Vendor have resisted to provide support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6) and its derivates for their products. This week I ran into two examples:
Have you ever scanned a pile of documents on a “non enterprise” o home scanner, or just got distracted when using the big Xerox machine in the office. You’ll end up with a ton of individual pdf files. After a little google and man reading I found these 2 solutions.
gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=finished.pdf Scan001.pdf Scan002.pdf
It’s really been a while since a sent my last update with pictures of what I’ve done. I normally try to keep friends and family up to date on what I’ve been doing since I moved to the other side of the Atlantic (to the European side). So today I fired up picasa to get the web albums up2date and nothing happend. When I ran it in a shell this came out:
[host]:/home/epablo:>picasa
/usr/bin/picasa: line 139: 25634 Segmentation fault “$PIC_BINDIR”/wrapper check_dir.exe.so
/usr/bin/picasa: line 175: 25734 Segmentation fault “$PIC_BINDIR/wrapper” regedit /E $registry_export HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-4\Software\Google\Picasa\Picasa2\Preferences\
After googling for I while I didn’t find any reasonable explanation for the error. I did find a beta (comming from google what could I expect) repository (here are the instructions on how to set it up) and upgraded from picasa-2.7.3736-15 to picasa-3.0.5744-02
It started up, I’ll keep you posted on how it goes with the field try..
