[Alan] has just posted an Ubuntu screencast that will take you through a crash course in the Ubuntu repositories. If you are new to Ubuntu this will give you a much better grasp on how software repositories are handled.
The different types of updates are discussed: Security updates fix bugs that cause a system vulnerability. Updates (generic) are for bug fixes that aren’t a security threat. Proposed updates are for testing before an update hits the ‘updates’ section. Finally, backports are updates from a newer version that have been ‘backported‘ so systems running older versions of Ubuntu can have the benefit of newer features and fixed bugs.
He also provides some tips on selecting package sources (main, universe, restricted, and multiverse), and choosing the fastest mirror to reduce download times. This screencast is just part one and we hope to see 3rd party repositories, personal package archives, and repository caching covered in future installments.
great, uh… hack. yeah.
I’m not usually the type to complain but the lack of hack content in an hackaday posting but this has to be the bottom of the barrel.
wow just wow slow news month?
^^^^ stfu crybebez
Wow. I have to agree with posters 1, 2, and 3… o.O
We’re making some changes to our content. Doing some major growing. We’ll be experimenting for a little bit, so keep your eyes open.
We’re also working on a way to make it so you only browse the type of post you are interested in. That’ll be awesome. We know a lot of you will appreciate that.
More info coming soon.
Oh man, what a great hack !
It’s even better than the kernel building GUI…
I have to agree. This seems like content for the sake of content. It adds very little value to the “hackaday community.” Less articles of this nature, please.
What should I say? Besides Ubuntu isn’t all that mighty an great… this plainly sucks. Sorry ’bout that.
well i like it
what i find hackish about it is the idea of teaching people to have personal package repo’s .. this is necessary for a good ubuntu rig.
but other than that, ermm .. ok. i come here for hardware hacking, mostly, so i shouldn’t be too judgemental.
[b]As Bad Debt Continues to Rise, the Country’s Foremost Authority on Debt Collection, Bill Bartmann, is Back![/b]
With a New Book Coming Out in May 2009 and Sold-Out Seminars on How to Buy Bad Debt, a Defiant Billionaire Is in High Demand AGAIN
In June of 1999, the Justice Department brought the largest, best-trained and most efficient debt-collection operation in the world, Commercial Financial Services, Inc. (CFS), founded by Bill Bartmann, to its demise. However, although Bill Bartmann had lost his company, he had not lost his faith. As Wall Street panicked, lawsuits and allegations rained down on Bartmann, the man who Inc. magazine once said had “remade one of the ugliest industries” and who Fortune magazine said had put a “seedy and inefficient industry on the road to respectability.” In December 2003, after eight weeks of testimony from 53 prosecution witnesses, Bartmann was acquitted of the 57-count indictment brought against him in the post-Enron era by former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft. There was no evidence of wrongdoing found.
CFS had made its name on its ability to buy delinquent credit card accounts for pennies on the dollar, and then produce nickels, dimes and quarters—an ability the firm eventually took to Wall Street. The accolades and praise for the company never seemed to end: BusinessWeek named it “One of the Top Ten Family Oriented Businesses in the U.S.” while Working Woman said it was one of the “100 Best Companies for Working Mothers.” Inc. magazine called it one of the “500 Fastest Growing Companies in America” for four straight years and the Better Business Bureau gave it the Torch Award for Ethics in the Marketplace.
Besides amassing a personal fortune, estimated by Inc. to be as high as $3.5 billion, Bartmann was named as one of Forbes’ “400 Wealthiest People in America,” and the National Entrepreneur of the Year by NASDAQ. He was also awarded a permanent place in the Smithsonian Institute’s Museum of American History, for “Visionary Use of Information Technology” that produces positive social, economic and educational change.
Ironically, 17 months after Bartmann’s acquittal and six-and-a-half years after his company was liquidated, the federal bankruptcy trustee (appointed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to liquidate the company, forcing Bartmann into personal bankruptcy) issued a report that publicly acknowledged for the first time that, “CFS was not a fraud.” Four independent expert witnesses hired by the trustee in the civil proceedings later confirmed this report.
Today, Bartmann just shrugs off the experience that would have embittered most people, and instead is thrilled to have a second opportunity to buy bad debt. This time, however, he is also teaching others what he learned from turning CFS into an empire. (CFS was the first firm of its kind and, to date, remains the most successful debt-collection agency on record).
As Bartmann says, “I have seen this movie before and I know how to write the ending. Not only was it incredibly profitable, but we changed the way debt was collected in this country. Compassion was never a part of the equation before. While the process of debt collection is obviously more complicated than simply being nice to those suffering, the business model can be extremely lucrative for those who know how to buy the debt.”
He adds, “The market was terribly inefficient then and it still is now, and there’s a giant spread to be made.” History has documented that he was correct: CFS typically collected more than three times what it paid for a bad loan, pocketing an average of 35¢ on every dollar of debt. Those numbers had never been hit before in the history of the industry—nor have they since.
Now Bartmann is prepared to do it again, teaching others along the way.
