Hi all,
it always annoyed me -when hacking on "something new"- to lookup some
name server (I used to memorize the one from my former university,
however they stopped to accept incoming requests, so I quickly learned
to forget about it, ...). I thus added the OpenDNS into the default
/etc/resolv.conf.
I know this is a debatable choice. I do not receive any cent from them
doing so, and we could even run our own open nameserver and get the
google adsense for the unmatched wildcard requests (but I'm not feeling
like setting one up right away, I may, however, in the near future:-).
This only affects unconfigured networks, and without DHCP anyway. The
default /etc/resolv.conf usually has a short life and is overwritten
quickly after the installation anyway. So this should only affect
low-level hackery, who happens to deal with chroot environments during
testing, and new PCB deployment, testing, in labs, without DHCP, anyway.
Have fun,
