To add a route refer to the command below.
"route add -net 10.41.41.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.41.42.8"
To delete a route refer to the command below.
"route del -net 10.41.41.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.41.42.8"
The routing information above is not persistent across reboots. After a reboot, the routing information will be lost and you need to add them in again.
To make the routing information persistent, add the “route add” line as seen above into the /etc/rc.local file.
Sample /etc/rc.local file.
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
route add -net 10.41.41.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.41.42.8
I recently purchased a webcam for skype. I’m using the UVC driver to power the webcam on my openSUSE11 machine.
Getting the webcam up was simple with openSUSE.
Verify if the uvc package is available.

Something many have been waiting for.
Dropbox is an online storage solution that fits seamlessly into your OS. It’s currently in Beta and accounts are by invite only. I received my invite from Thaweesak.

It’s done. DNS records are up to date, mysql synchronized and directory structure intact.
My new hosting provider is Fivio Internet Services.
Why?
Simple, I’m tired of the big players. Shared hosting users don’t get the respect they need most times and I’m not alone on this. Many share my experience.
It’s time to look elsewhere. Smaller upcoming providers like Fivio will always have their customers taken care of well. It’s just good business ethics.
I’ve had excellent support from them during my move so far and looking forward to a great hosting experience with them.
I’m moving to a new hosting service today.My current host has been plagued with downtimes and DB issues. Hopefully in the future I can host with them again.
Hopefully the downtime’s minimal. I will keep you posted.
