VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 3.0 On A Headless Ubuntu 9.04 Server
============================================================================================

This guide explains how you can run virtual machines with Sun VirtualBox 3.0 (released on June 30, 2009) on a headless Ubuntu 9.04 server. Normally you use the VirtualBox GUI to manage your virtual machines, but a server does not have a desktop environment. Fortunately, VirtualBox comes with a tool called VBoxHeadless that allows you to connect to the virtual machines over a remote desktop connection, so there's no need for the VirtualBox GUI.

Installing VirtualBox 3.0 On A Fedora 11 Desktop
================================================

This tutorial shows how you can install Sun VirtualBox 3.0 (released on June 30, 2009) on a Fedora 11 desktop. With VirtualBox you can create and run guest operating systems ("virtual machines") such as Linux and Windows under a host operating system. There are two ways of installing VirtualBox: from precompiled binaries that are available for some distributions and come under the PUEL license, and from the sources that are released under the GPL. This article will show how to set up VirtualBox 3.0 from the precompiled binaries.

Virtual Mail And FTP Hosting With iRedMail And Pure-FTPd
========================================================

iRedMail is a shell script that lets you quickly deploy a full-featured mail solution in less than 2 minutes. Since iRedMail 0.5, it supports Debian 5.0.1 and Ubuntu 8.04 & Ubuntu 9.04 (both i386 and x86_64). iRedMail supports both OpenLDAP and MySQL as backends for storing virtual domains and users. The OpenLDAP backend of iRedMail allows you to integrate all kinds of applications. This guide shows you how to integrate pure-ftpd into the iRedMail ldap backend on CentOS 5.x, passwords will be stored in ldap and you can change the password through webmail.

How To Get The M-Audio Transit USB Audio Device Working In Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64
============================================================================

This tutorial will explain how to get the M-Audio Transit USB audio device working under Ubuntu 9.04 amd64, although it may work for other versions. The Transit is usually a Windows only device and is not detected normally because the firmware has to be loaded in to the device; this is normally done by the Windows drivers. I've written this tutorial after a long exhaustive search on how to get it working.
