Install MariaDB on Ubuntu 10.04 “Lucid Lynx”

By ivanov | Published: October 5, 2010

The easiest way to install fresh version of MariaDB is trough the OurDelta Package. First add the repository to your system:

wget -O- http://ourdelta.org/deb/ourdelta.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://ourdelta.org/deb/sources/lucid-mariadb-ourdelta.list
\ -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ourdelta.list

Afterwards, don’t forget to fetch the new lists with:

$sudo aptitude update

Then install MariaDB with :

$sudo apt-get install mariadb-server-5.1

In my case I was missing some dependencies ,so I have to run

$sudo apt-get -f install

which installed additionally mariadb-server-core-5.1 and then all the other packages.

Lean Thinking

The term lean is turning into a buzz word and it seems that everyone is talking about something lean. So why not call it just lean thinking as the book:

Lean Thinking: Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation, Revised and Updated by James P. Womack and Daniel T. Jones

I watch a recent video on InfoQ by Simon Barker and Gus Power ( Product Development in the Land of the Free ) on how to develop real software products the smart way while inegrating the lean prospectives. Their focus was on the improvement of big companies but of course these same ideas can be impelented in the small companies with even bigger success. Of course here is the place to mention the concept of Lean Startup pushed by people like Eric Ries and Steve Blank.
