Brainf*ck

Brainf*ck is a esoteric programming language with a set of eight instructions alone
+ – , . > < [ ]
containing all needs to stimulate a turing machine.

The name is being masked and u guessed it right;)
And the real name is apt for the language as u might end up as a pshyco due to this.

This language was made by Urban Muller inorder to create a language with the smallest compiler.
There are compilers available from 136bytes for this language.

A real amusement at first glance. It can do any work done by a turing machine if it is given unlimited amount of memory.
I found it a bit akward at only one point. It stores everything in ascii and it is a real pain in the neck to handle math on that.

There is a 200 byte (more…)

now u get a “root” terminal ( inverted comma was to differentiate between the real root and sudo “root”.)

type the command

$ passwd
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:

Zenwalk, Ubuntu and GRUB

Ahh installing zenwalk was an easy process except for the bootloader part. A real pain in the neck.

First i installed zenwalk with its native bootloader zenwalk and then got really mad trying to add my ubuntu to the lilo. Sometimes it is better do the old school stuff.

I popped in the ubuntu cd and then restored grub.

Then i added the following lines to my /etc/grub/menu.lst

# Zenwalk Linux
title Zenwalk (more...)
