By Katherine Noyes LinuxInsider 05/27/08 4:00 AM PT School will soon be out for the summer. There are a slew of Linux programs for kids — including Tux Paint, Celestia and Edubuntu — that parents can use to entertain the little ones. What’s Linux with a Lineage? Verio Linux VPS delivers root access, advanced FairShare…
Pick a good story/theme and go for it. I will choose Konatcica for my firewall’s name. An Apache Legend Long, long ago, animals and trees talked with each other, but there was no fire at that time. Fox was most clever and he tried to think of a way to create fire for the world….
I must say I am impressed by the SmoothWall firewall. It has a fantastic interface and it was an easy install. A little reading ahead of time and an understanding of firewall zones helped get my firewall knowledge converted to Smoothie talk. I started with a PIII-400c Compaq, 256 MB RAM and a 1.5 GB…
Now that the Web server is running and the database is being backed up it is time to create a failover webserver. I had grandiose dreams back in 2006 when my main web server took a dive and I needed to buy a new server. Why not get 2 identical servers and run them in…
The next task for me is to put in a real router, I have 5 IP addresses and I am currently running with 3 off the shelf Linksys Home routers. I would need to buy 2 more to use all 5 IP’s, the cable router is a 4 port Cicso which makes it impossible to use all 5 IP’s. The capabilities of these home routers are extremely limited and I have maxed out each one with how many rules they can have (20). One old PC, LRP and webmin can solve this issue for me. I have been “Mind-Planning” this for some time and this article from Linux Journal gave me the inspiration.
FYI: LRP, Linux Router Project, went off-line in 2005ish. I used LRP disks for years (1998-2006) as Seti@Home clients. I booted old computers from the floppy and loaded a Seti client from another disk and let them do all the calcs in memory. When ever the power went out I had to re-launch all systems.
I guess I just can’t let well enough alone. For 6 years I have been a die hard QmailRocks, Qmail Toaster fan. Finally fed up with the lack of updates to an awesome, and cumbersome, combination of software, QmailRocks.org has lost a devoted fan. QMailRocks has done a great job, but it appears that they…
Being a ReplayTV lover for so many years, and seeing the Tivo win out in the market place, I feel cheated. I am compelled to get the next ReplayTV. I have been watching the different systems our their and MythTV is the most popular. I love it’s open architecture, the ability to turn not so…
I have finally decided to list all the Linux Flavor I use or have used / tried. Fedora Linux – FedoraProject.com
I use this Fedora for all my servers. Web and DB servers, email and entertainment.
