Fedora 12 Samba Standalone Server With tdbsam Backend
This tutorial explains the installation of a Samba fileserver on
Fedora 12 and how to configure it to share files over the SMB protocol
as well as how to add users. Samba is configured as a standalone
server, not as a domain controller. In the resulting setup, every user
has his own home directory accessible via the SMB protocol and all
users have a shared directory with read-/write access.

How To Set Up An SSL Vhost Under Apache2 On Ubuntu 9.10/Debian Lenny
This article explains how you can set up an SSL vhost under Apache2
on Ubuntu 9.10 and Debian Lenny so that you can access the vhost over
HTTPS (port 443). SSL is short for iSecure Sockets Layer/i and
is a cryptographic protocol that provides security for communications
over networks by encrypting segments of network connections at the
transport layer end-to-end. We use the mod_ssl Apache module here to provide strong cryptography for Apache2 via SSL by the help of the Open Source SSL toolkit OpenSSL.

Install Skype for Linux Beta v2.1.0.81 on Ubuntu 9.10
Skype just recently released an updated version of their desktop client for Linux, Skype Beta v2.1.0.81. This release fixes some major bugs and well as introduces some new features previously unavailable on the Linux release. I am very happy to see this version released as I use Skype quite regularly. Not only to talk to distant family, but also day-to-day as a standard home phone. Yes, that’s right. It is 2010 and I don’t even own a cell-phone! With high-speed internet so readily available between my home, office and public transportation, I simply use Skype as my contact phone number.
In this article I will outline how to install the latest Skype release directly from the Skype website. This version should fix the issues Ubuntu users previously had with Pulse Audio as well as issues presented by using dark themes in GNOME.

Is There Any Good Screencasting in Ubuntu?
One of the things I’ve personally found frustrating in Linux is the development status of screencasting applications, or lack thereof.
