I was trying to setup a radius server using mysql authentication and I was plumb stuck on this error message.

Could not link driver rlm_sql_mysql:

Very simple fix as it turns out. You just need to install the mysql enabled version of freeradius. For example in Debian linux, simply type:

apt-get install freeradius-mysql

      Microsoft has finally released the much anticipated Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista. Although its not “publicly” available for download from Microsoft yet, it can be found online at various other places. I’ve installed the service pack on both a desktop and a laptop now and I’m well pleased with it. Its worth installing simply for the annoying “slow file copy” bug fix which is included. Hurray!! Of course, there is a whole lot of other fixes included as well.

Check out these screenshots.

This has been in the rumor mill for months, but now it is official. Microsoft has just proposed a $44.6 Billion offer for Yahoo. Wow! Microsoft must have a lot of faith that this acquisition will make sense, because they are plunking down a hunk of cash for Yahoo!

P.S. If anyone is interested, I would sell my business for… umm…  just 1 billion.
