You see, I love books. Long ago I
picked out PDFs as the best digital equivalent and I’ve collected tens
of thousands of free books in my digital libraries. One of the only
bits of proprietary (sort of) software on my computers is Adobe, simply
because it’s the best reader.
The same way tabbed browsing revolutionized the web experience, GNU Screen can do the same for your experience in the command line. GNU Screen allows you to manage several interactive shell instances within the same “window.” By using different keyboard shortcuts, you are able to shuffle through the shell instances, access any of them directly, create new ones, kill old ones, attach and detach existing ones.
Instead of opening up several terminal instances on your desktop or using those ugly GNOME/KDE-based tabs, Screen can do it better and simpler.
Debian-Installer Loader
is a Debian Etch installer for Windows which adds an entry to the boot
menu that allows you to start the Debian installation. Unlike the Ubuntu installation with Wubi, real Debian partitions are created during the installation. In the end, you have a dual-boot system (Windows/Debian).

This guide explains how to integrate eAccelerator into PHP5 on a Debian Etch system. From the eAccelerator project page: "eAccelerator
is a free open-source PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content
cache. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in
their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost
completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their
execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the
Thanks to its use of open standards and open source, SugarCRM has emerged as a healthy and well-supported alternative to other proprietary customer relationship management (CRM) applications like Salesforce.com and Act. That said, more people now use products other than SugarCRM. So in many cases, if you deploy SugarCRM it will involve migrating from another product. In this article, I’ll discuss some of the ways SugarCRM and its partners have created solutions for migrating from other products.
In this article I will show how to install and configure BlockHosts
on a Debian Etch system. BlockHosts is a Python tool that observes
login attempts to various services, e.g. SSH, FTP, etc., and if it
finds failed login attempts again and again from the same IP address or
host, it stops further login attempts from that IP address/host. By
default, BlockHosts supports services that use TCP_WRAPPERS, such as
Mozilla Firefox is my no. 1 web browser and I also must to admit that it is the most used application on my desktop. I’m using it on daily basis and as I like to do things fast and in a comfortable way I’m using keyboard shortcuts. I thought that they could help to many of my readers too, so I’d love to share them with you:
Are you a brand-newbie to MySQL? Coming from another database (or
databases)? If so, here are some concepts to read up on right away to
ease your confusion down the road. These are the top things I wish
someone had told me about before I did anything else with MySQL.
(I’ve had a lot of questions along these lines, and have posted on
all of each of these items somewhere, but thought it’d be more helpful
to gather the points together into one place.)
Modelled on – indeed, with text outright taken from, for consistency – The Perfect Setup – Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, by Falko Timme. Some Gentoo-specific text and commands came from the Gentoo Virtual Mailhosting System with Postfix Guide.
This tutorial shows how to set up a Gentoo 2007.0 based server that
offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters: Apache web server
(SSL-capable), Postfix mail server with SMTP-AUTH and TLS, BIND DNS
I like to back up the
data on my laptop computer as often as possible, just in case I have
trouble with it. I have some large files on the laptop that prevent me
from scheduling an Internet backup to my home machine, so I have
written a script
that reminds me to periodically plug in an external USB drive; then
upon clicking continue, the reminder script runs my custom backup
script.
One of the most welcome
additions to OpenOffice.org 2.3 is a new export filter that allows you
to save Writer documents as MediaWiki-formatted pages. That’s all fine
and dandy if you are using MediaWiki, but what about other wiki
Xen
is a powerful new virtualization system that enables you to run
multiple operating systems on one computer. Here’s how you can install
it on your Fedora machine, and how to get it configured to best suit
your environment.
