roadrunner ipv6? upgrade TL-WRT941ND to OpenWRT?


how can I tell when my RR connection will support IPV6?

I have RR slowest speed. But I have a DOSSYS 3.0 cable modem.

I have a TL-WRT941ND which I can upgrade to OpenWRT whenever
RR supports IPV6. I plan to do that after I know RR is OK.
The TL-WRT941ND does not support IPV6 natively.

How do I know when RR is up to speed on IPV6?
How would I determine my address block?

Has anyone in the area done this?

Laptop Questions

Hello, Austin area Linux users.

I am a software developer in Austin. I have been here about seven months. I do not use Linux at work, but I do use it at home. I use Ubuntu. I also have a Windows laptop.

I am thinking of buying a new laptop with Windows pre-installed. I will keep Windows on it, at least for a few years. I may also buy a laptop in a few years and put Linux on it right away.

Some new laptops have touch screens. Can Linux respond to touch/gestures? Or is that a Windows-only thing for now?

Also: Will I have any issues installing Linux on a new laptop? I have read a few articles online about "Secure Boot". I am sure there is a workaround for it. Up until now, installing Ubuntu was pretty easy: pop in the DVD and keep hitting "Next". Is it still as easy as it used to be?

Thanks for any info.

= Eric MacAdie

Re: Tx LinuxFest short notice

Hi Ilan,
I actually DID opt in for hearing about the future Fests, and how to help spread the word, so I don't know why I wasn't included. 
I am in a conundrum about showing up Saturday, but for Linux I don't mind volunteering a bit for this, as long as I know what I am getting into LOL.  Friday I will be at work all day.
Let's play it by ear and see what is needed.  I still seem to think someone dropped the ball on this, so I shouldn't have to pay too much in labour, but it looked at San Antonio to be nice to meet people working the crowd and it goes in spirit.   (just don't take advantage of it LOL or I will crack your wireless access points - just kidding).

Hi Tristan,

We sent out emails to registrants who opted in to our mailing list last year and in prior years.
If funding is a problem, we'd be happy to provide a pass if you can help with checkin/registration on  Saturday morning.

Regards,

This Friday, and I can't take off work since I took last week off.
I could have planned for this- I thought thats why we gave them our emails last year when attending?

Conventional calculator software manipulates numbers. Computer Algebra

replace propriety CAS. One of the most powerful Free Software CAS,
SAGE, is available online.

Adobe consequences... let Gip, etc prevail!

Ok unless you have been asleep and have anything to do with design but 
don't keep up with tech news, you know that this week Adobe flew the 
coop on giving solid media installs, and now wants SaaS to be their only 
business model.

I can only offer a few tools to be true replacements to the Adobe core 
products, since I don't use any anymore!
If you can contribute to a list of open source replacements, please do- 
this is an opportunity

Ok this is a lame start:
Gimp
Cinelerrra

I just think there is a growing need for a movement saying "we don't 
WANT the cloud!"  give me the software installer!"
I feel analogous trend of system software being put on a partition 
instead of giving you boot cd/dvd media.  You call Dell and Apple? Nothing!

is the Ubuntu Certified Professional certification defunct?

The Ubuntu Certified Professional exam was an extension to the LPIC-1 certification.  It seemed to be bundled in a special offer at one time (it is actually designated LPIC-199)  So you could claim to have both UCP and LPIC certs ( reasonable if you went on to get LPIC-2).

Check out this announcement:
http://www2.lpi.org/eng/about_lpi/what_s_new/lpi_and_canonical_offer_special_promotion_on_exams
Now, if you follow any of the links in that page, or try to search either LPI or Canonical's website for the cert, it totally disappeared.  No mention.  Nada.

I did some Googling around but couldn't find an explanation.  Mostly Google just finds copies of the study guide being sold.
Anyone have any first hand info?  Did they just pull the rug out from underneath this?
I suspect they incorporated it into the LPIC altogether.
