…submitted by Ken… Here’s the actual question: How do I enable the Universe in <Ubuntu> Feisty using the command line? My graphics suck so I don’t have a gui. Well, as long as Feisty still uses the same configuration that Edgy used (I’ll verify this later), and as long as you’re into using “apt-get” (if [...]
Here is my version of a Tripwire Cheat Sheet. I originally wrote this about a year ago, but it is still pretty much the same. It will help you to get Tripwire up-and-going quickly, if only to learn how it all comes together. There are some additional caveats to run it in production, but hey [...]
Every company has one of them. The guy that thinks Linux is the answer to all the world’s problems. He is the evangelist that would probably end up saving your company millions, but no one listens to him. I find they are usually very fun to mess with. Try these little tricks the next time [...]
…self-submitted… Simply follow the directions at the link listed below. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/01/usb-knoppix-510 Now here’s the cool part. The complete install including download of the iso and associated files was roughly 3 hours with numerous breaks. In reality it was less than an hour of work though. Now here’s the cooler part.

…self-submitted… This one’s easy… once you know how to do it… Seriously, setting up an installation server for OESsp2 is a bit trickier than setting up and installation server for good ol’ OpenSuse, mostly because OES is based on SLES9. And here’s the easiest way to do it, not the only way… Get a Linux [...]

What sites do you suggest?” It depends. *If* you have a relationship with an existing Linux company – like if [...]
…submitted by Matt… Here’s the actual question: If iFolder 2 encrypts the data, how does Netstorage get to it? It depends. NOTE: This is about iFolder2. Do not confuse with iFolder3, which is a different beast altogether… Just think about how it accesses other shares first; on *their* terms, right? Meaning, NetStorage is essentially a [...]
…question self-contributed… It depends. I learned that simultaneously migrating an existing Zimbra server to new server hardware and upgrading the version (from 4.0.1 to 4.5.3) at the same time can be either really easy, or really hard. You get to decide. The best part is that if you fail, you get to start over… and [...]
…overheard from a few cubicles over… It depends. If you want to drive your car on the expressway, and the on-ramp that you were about to use is closed, do you say: The expressway is closed The on-ramp is closed If you chose #1, then you probably think that all your food disappears when you [...]
