Trick: Run Linux on Your Nintendo Wii |
|
Monday, 03 March 2008 |
|
You can, and it's actually called "homebrew," which is one of those
words that always sounds like a neologism (a newly coined word) but in
fact originated in the mid-nineteenth-century, meaning "an alcoholic
beverage made at home." Go beer, then, and what's more, go
who'd-a-thunk-it hacks that let you for-real load Linux and "embrace
your inner penguin" on an unassuming white box half the size of a
toaster.

Running Abyss, a small but feature rich web server |
|
Wednesday, 27 February 2008 |
|
If you need to set up a compact, secure, easily configurable Web server in as short a time, then we recommend installing Abyss Web Server. The software is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD operating systems. Depending on your needs, you may choose one of the two available editions. The free personal edition (X1) is a fully usable web server with no limitations. The professional edition (X2) includes an immediate access at no additional cost to new minor and major versions for a small amount of money. The differences between both versions you can find here. Abyss isn't open source software, but it is an interesting product and can provide a full web server with no cost, on older hardware, and with high-performance results. The following workshop describes how to install and configure Abyss Web Server (X1) on Mandriva 2008 server.

Trick: Set up a virtual FTP server with pam-mysql |
|
Saturday, 09 February 2008 |
|
Setting up a virtual File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server with a
database back end offers many benefits. By using a database, you can
store a large number of users centrally, so it's easy to manage. It
offers more security than traditional Unix OS authentication methods,
because virtual users can access only the FTP server's resources, not
the OS's. You can use the many Web tools that are available to easily
install, configure, and manage the database back end.

XP IS GETTING a bit long in the tooth, Vista is a pig and
you don't want to buy a Mac and join the Jobs Cult. So, you're thinking of

want to spend a weekend discussing it with disturbingly intense bearded men in
socks and sandals. So here is the Inquirer's guide to Linux: quick, clear,
opinionated and unfair.

Securing your VNC connection using SSH |
|
Tuesday, 11 December 2007 |
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is remote control software which allows you to view and fully interact with one computer desktop using a VNC viewer on another computer desktop anywhere on the LAN or Internet. The two computers don't even have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view a Windows XP desktop at the office on a Linux or Mac computer at home.
Once you are connected, traffic between the viewer and the server is unencrypted, and could be sniffed by someone with access to the intervening network. Is security imported to you, we recommend tunneling the VNC protocol through some more secure channel such as SSH. This workshop describes how to connect from a Windows XP client to a Linux (OpenSuse 10.3) server via VNC and to tunnel this connection using SSH.
