Why Linux perfect system for people who hate computers?
Submitted by srlinuxx on Thursday 12th of April 2007 03:19:22 PM Filed under
We've had computers powerful enough to be effortlessly useful for ages now. In fact, there is probably one in your attic. Even a 10-year-old PC will work perfectly well as a well-connected typewriter, which is all that most people want or need.

The Open Source Security Motherload: 105 Tools, Applications and Resources
Submitted by srlinuxx on Thursday 12th of April 2007 05:15:18 AM Filed under
Open source security is like a military general who shows his plans to both his allies and his enemies. On the one hand, his enemies can try to exploit the plan by targeting its weaknesses. But on the other hand, by exposing his tactics to those who want to help, the plan is ultimately much stronger as a result of their feedback and modifications.

Timed shutdown in openSUSE: kshutdown
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 11th of April 2007 10:58:43 PM Filed under
I never thought I’d need it, but today I did. I needed a timer (for shutdown) in linux.
context: I was doing some bittorrent downloads during an ISP limited timeframe. I had to finish by 8:00am otherwise it would cost me dearly!
tried and failed: I googled for “timed shutdown” and found two main solutions… THAT DIDN’T WORK in openSUSE.
So what worked?

Ubuntu 7.04 - 108 new updates, Gnome 2.18.1 upgrade, network regression
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 11th of April 2007 10:56:51 PM Filed under
Got a big block of upgrades today, including Gnome. Gnome itself was upgraded to 2.18.1 and Ubuntu followed right along. Quick testing indicates that Compiz is still regressed from the last upgrade, which is no big deal to me. Regular old 'flat' mode still works just fine, and I can live with that.
No, there's a bigger problem. When the system reboots networking does not automatically start.

Dispelling the fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) about Linux
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 11th of April 2007 09:16:15 PM Filed under
The fear, uncertainty and doubt surrounding Linux is still immense and it's purely through lack of education. If only people could see what's happening in the community they might change their tune. Here's why the FUD is misplaced.

Squid in 5 minutes
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 11th of April 2007 09:15:04 PM Filed under
Why Squid? Why only five minutes?
There are many great tools that Squid has to offer, but when I need to redirect http traffic to a caching server for performance increases or security, squid’s my pick. Squid has built in proxy and caching tools that are simple, yet effective.

Open Source, Stat!
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 11th of April 2007 09:13:46 PM Filed under
There is a syndrome that has lately been plaguing the "Big 4" proprietary vendors.
I will call it the "Acquisition/Confusion Syndrome." It can be severely damaging, and anyone exposed to it is susceptible to infection.
The point of exposure occurs when a "Big 4" vendor acquires a smaller, focused start-up in the hopes of expanding their offerings to their customers.

The latest IBM database will now download and deploy easily from the Ubuntu desktop. If users want DB2, they can go to the download site, and Ubuntu automates the download and installs it.
