About

The Neunix Gemlog is all about tech. Its articles cover mostly software-related topics (a lot of *BSD, a bit of illumos and some Linux) as well as everything else about the IT that I find time and motivation to write about. Focus is on FreeBSD as that is my daily driver OS but I try to touch on a lot of interesting things.

New posts

(Oct 2020) My first FreeBSD port: Castor

This post talks about Castor being my first committed FreeBSD port. I also describes the current version of Castor a little and presents some ideas on new features that I'd like to see.

Old posts (from former "Eerie Linux" blog)

I've decided to take some of the old articles from my former Weblog and make them available on Gemini as well. As a bonus you'll get to read slightly improved versions.

Overview of 2013 posts

In my second blogging year I mostly continued with more preparation for building my experimental Linux distro: A lot of applications that use various toolkits were tested and reviewed (I did not bring those posts over, though). Other than that I begun to be interested in the broader *nix family, peeking at some non-Linux operating systems and finally got my hands dirty digging into Linux systems and then beginning to build my own.

(Some) posts from 2012

Overview of 2012 posts

My first blogging year (or actually half year since I started in the second half of 2012) I'm writing about the Linux distro experiment that I had in mind and evaluate available software to find good light-weight components to pick for the distro.
