Bedtime song - Sepohon kayu

Another memorable song, called "Sepohon kayu". Do you know that a lot of good things should be taught while they are in semi-conscious state, a stage just before they asleep. This is just one way how to build a strong base for a good muslim, as early as 3-4 years old. Why 3-4 years old? Because this is the stage where they are still not utilizing their full conscious mind capabilities and , and semi-conscious mind proven to be more effective in parenting your child. Sorry I could not find and reference to this, but I have read it somewhere. Well, its our children and it's up to us how to raise them, and for a moslem, there are clear guidelines to follow, God willing. "Anak-anak dilahirkan untuk berjaya, janganlah kita(ibubapa) menggagalkan mereka" - Datuk Dr Fadzilah Kamsah

Internet access, linux not ok, windows ok, *bsd ok

So what seemed to be a problem? Recently, within our network segment, guarded by pf firewall, somehow linux(redhat,fedora,*buntu) found difficulty in accessing the internet. Either the page is half loaded, or did not come out at all. It is not the browser; same result using wget. Obviously it is not the network; since XP and *BSD can go out. So, I suspect the pf is the mole. But since the pf owner is not around, and IT department could not be much of a help unless the problem affecting their segment, nothing much can be done. Plus I'm half system admin I used to be, too lazy to trace out the root cause now. Btw, here's the definition of problem based on ITIL concept(taken from wikipedia):

A problem is a condition often identified as a result of multiple Incidents that exhibit common symptoms. Problems can also be identified from a single significant Incident, indicative of a single error, for which the cause is unknown, but for which the impact is significant.
A known error is a condition identified by successful diagnosis of the root cause of a problem, and the subsequent development of a Work-around.
