Why you should contribute to Open Source

An interesting opinion of why you should contribute to the Open Source.

"...Open Source projects offer you a chance to work on something that you want rather than something that others want you to work on. It is a great opportunity to work on something that is both cool and useful as well as to associate with a well known brand and all the publicity and goodwill it brings. You are free to pick and choose between the thousands of open source projects out there. Moreover, you are free to decide on how much you want to contribute. You won’t have a boss and you won’t have the pressure of deadlines and schedules..."

Disable Frame Buffer in Ubuntu 10.04 Server (VirtualBox)

In Ubuntu 10.04 Server with the frame buffer enabled, seems that cause lag in the screen when is used as a guest in VirtualBox. Here is how to disable the frame buffer:

Edit the file "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf" and add "blacklist vga16fb" (without the quotes). Un-comment "GRUB_TERMINAL=console" in "/etc/default/grub" to prevent GRUB from starting a frame buffer.
