Installing the Brother HL-2070N printer in linux (more specifically my openSUSE installations) has been an intimidating task. Until now.
I found a simple guide here. Straight to the point, 2 min install, and bam, everything is working. Thanks Andrew!
Booting into runlevel 3 to install nvidia drivers:
I know this will come in handy again:

Adding the option “discard” to the fstab line for option settings is the trick. This only works with ext4 and xfs file systems
From my existing opensuse 12.1 install:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-KINGSTON_SNV425S264GB_07TA50002211-part3 /home/ ext4 acl,user_xattr,noatime,discard 1 2
Setting up UnRaid on an ESXi 5.0 server
I took the plunge and moved part of my home storage to FreeNAS using ZFS to manage the files on it.
Now comes the tough part of managing a file system I know nothing about how to use (which on paper seems excellent).
This list of articles/blogs may help:
I keep having issues every time I install VirtualBox on my machine, and figured this time I would document what I did to get the kernel modules to properly compile upon installation.
First make sure openSuSE is up to date
zypper update
Then install kernel sources
zypper install gcc make automake autoconf kernel-source kernel-syms
First try I did not get eagle to install in a 64bit linux OS.
Gave up and installed it on a Win7 VM instead so I could start using it.
Tried again today, and figured it out.
The error I was getting initially was
/tmp/eagle-setup.16234/eagle-6.1.0/bin/eagle: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The reason this message came up was because I needed to have the 32bit version of libjpeg-8 library installed. By default I guess opensuse only installs the 64bit version (since I’m running a 64bit OS).
Just had to go in the Yast -> Package Manager and search for libjpeg, and select the 32bit version of the libjpeg-8 libraries.
I recently had a memory card fail on me on a recent trip (the filesystem somehow got corrupted) and I could not access the photos on it. I put the CF memory card aside, and left it till I got home. Once home, I used PhotoRec (in linux)to scan and recover all my photos from the CF card.
The file name of the files is lost, but all I need to do is sort by date in Bibble (my RAW converter software), which uses the meta-data date to sort, so the file name is not that important.
