How To Install GRUB 2 On Ubuntu 9.04
====================================

This tutorial shows how you can upgrade your GRUB bootloader to GRUB 2 on Ubuntu 9.04. GRUB 2 has been rewritten from scratch to clean up everything for modularity and portability.

How To Add A Splash Image To GRUB 2 On Ubuntu 9.04
==================================================

This tutorial shows how you can add a splash image to your GRUB 2 boot loader on Ubuntu 9.04. Please note that you should use this tutorial only if you have upgraded your bootloader to GRUB 2 previously.

How To Set Up Software RAID1 On A Running System (Incl. GRUB Configuration) (Debian Lenny)
==========================================================================================

This guide explains how to set up software RAID1 on an already running Debian Lenny system. The GRUB bootloader will be configured in such a way that the system will still be able to boot if one of the hard drives fails (no matter which one).

Installing Nginx With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Fedora 11
=========================================================

Nginx (pronounced "engine x") is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server. Nginx is known for its stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. This tutorial shows how you can install Nginx on a Fedora 11 server with PHP5 support (through FastCGI) and MySQL support.

Finding Files On The Command Line
=================================

One of the things I like about Linux is the command line. I have used nautilus, gnome-commander, konqueror, kommander, dolphin and thunar to manage files in Linux and these file managers are great for what they do. But there are times when one simply wants to find a file when working on the command line without having to open a GUI application.

How To Configure SquirrelMail To Allow Users To Change Their Email Passwords On An ISPConfig 3 Server
=====================================================================================================

This guide explains how you can configure your SquirrelMail webmail application on an ISPConfig 3 server so that email users can change their passwords themselves directly in SquirrelMail.

Firewall Access Policy Rulesets, Part 3
=======================================
