Voila. For the second time, I got selected for Google Summer of Code (2009). This time I am going to work with the mentoring organisation Pardus.

I will be working to develop a Web based Custom distro creater tool for Pardus Project.

I found this interesting !

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=32768

It returns the data transfer rate.

slynux@slynux-laptop:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=32768
32768+0 records in
32768+0 records out
34359738368 bytes (34 GB) copied, 3.72538 s, 9.2 GB/s

It says my laptop has data transfer rate = 9.2GBps :)
