Thanks for this. Spent hours trying to solve the same problem until I found your site. Hope you do not mind but I have linked to your site from the Bubba Server [www.excito.com] forum as I think others will find your post very helpful.

Comment on TAP that DHCP bridge for some Qemu TUN in Fedora by Ken

I got this slightly simpler set-up to work (in Fedora 11):

/etc/qemu-ifup contains “ifup $1″

and

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-tap0 contains:

DEVICE=tap0
TYPE=Tap
BRIDGE=br0

(you need to install the package “tunctl” for this work)

I tried to follow your method, but it seems that I might need some additional configurations. Do I have to do some configurations inside guest, or with DNS server, as my guest doesn’t get an IP address? Do I need any additional configuration like
sudo sh -c “echo ’1′ > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward”
or to enable NAT like:
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

Please any help!!

P.S. I’m running Fedora 8

Well, I’d used Picasa for a few years, but after my final move from Windows to *nix, I decided to switch to F-Spot. Of course F-Spot’s interface looks a bit poor after Picasa’s one, but there is much more important thing – extensions which help me to build exactly that photo-manager that I want

Plouj that’s wicked, I didn’t know you did this. I had to get that book from the library, great read. I really liked the Solaris dude Cantrill’s article.

Hey, I actually like Picasa.

Of course, my computer is so slow and bloated, that it struggles to run it, but it’s still pretty useful.

It’s photo viewer (which handily replaces Window’s dated one) is attractive, and useful for basic editing.

Of course, it’s annoying how every time I plug in my Mass storage device, it starts uploading all the thumbnails from Portableapps (which really, aren’t pictures at all), but it’s a small qualm.

It’s online counterpart has a pretty neat face-identification feature. You should check it out.
