Alternatively typing

date +%s

at a convenient command line might be faster, and more accurate…

Although it’s an alpha, it’s still a vast improvement over the 32-bit version which I’ve used up until now with the aid of NPS Wrapper.

Because it can now running natively on a 64-bit architecture without the aid of a wrapper, it has a smaller memory footprint and is vastly more stable. With the 32-bit version I usually had to restart Firefox at least once a day to free up some RAM, or just to get Flash Player working again.

To get your copy, just go to http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

You can see the latest version of the diagram (v7.6) here, or visit the homepage http://futurist.se/gldt/.

The hosts of the show are Fabian Scherschel in Germany, and Dan Lynch in the UK. The show is presented in a humorous, laid-back manner, and fills the gap left after the demise of LUG Radio.

Tonight’s pick is ‘Inside the Linux boot process’. This article guides you from the initial power on through to the user-space being available. However if you really want to get down and dirty with the boot process, then I would suggest having a go at Linux From Scratch.

It covers commands for a wide range of operations, i.e. processes, file system, networking, CVS, databases, etc.. Also it covers the very basics of scripting and programming.
