The Perfect Desktop - PCLinuxOS 2010 (KDE)
==========================================

This tutorial shows how you can set up a PCLinuxOS 2010 desktop (with KDE) that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.

Processing 10000 Pictures Using Many Computers With Oropo (Debian/Ubuntu)
=========================================================================

Have you ever had a lot of data to process? In such a moment after a while of processing we realize that it will take ages to complete. It would be faster if we could use two or three or even more computers. Let's use some computers - you think it is a lot of configuration? You are wrong. With Oropo it's easy. Let's discuss a problem of processing large number of pictures. First approach for solving this problem is to process pictures sequentially on one computer. Second approach is to process pictures parallelly on many computers.

Fight Image Spam With FuzzyOCR And SpamAssassin On Ubuntu 9.10
==============================================================

This tutorial describes how to scan emails for image spam with FuzzyOCR on an Ubuntu 9.10 server. FuzzyOCR is a plugin for SpamAssassin which is aimed at unsolicited bulk mail containing images as the main content carrier. Using different methods, it analyzes the content and properties of images to distinguish between normal mails (ham) and spam mails. FuzzyOCR tries to keep the system load low by scanning only mails that have not already been categorized as spam by SpamAssassin, thus avoiding unnecessary work.

Fight Image Spam With FuzzyOCR And SpamAssassin On Debian Lenny
===============================================================

This tutorial describes how to scan emails for image spam with FuzzyOCR on a Debian Lenny server. FuzzyOCR is a plugin for SpamAssassin which is aimed at unsolicited bulk mail containing images as the main content carrier. Using different methods, it analyzes the content and properties of images to distinguish between normal mails (ham) and spam mails. FuzzyOCR tries to keep the system load low by scanning only mails that have not already been categorized as spam by SpamAssassin, thus avoiding unnecessary work.

The Perfect Server - OEL 5.4 [ISPConfig 3]
==========================================

This tutorial shows how to prepare a OEL 5.4 (Oracle Enterprise Linux) server for the installation of ISPConfig 3, and how to install ISPConfig 3 on a distributed configuration. OEL is a clone of RedHat ES, so, both are very similar. ISPConfig 3 is a webhosting control panel that allows you to configure the following services through a web browser: Apache web server, Postfix mail server, MySQL, PureFTPd, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, and many more.

How To Integrate ClamAV Into PureFTPd For Virus Scanning On Fedora 12
=====================================================================

This tutorial explains how you can integrate ClamAV into PureFTPd for virus scanning on a Fedora 12 system. In the end, whenever a file gets uploaded through PureFTPd, ClamAV will check the file and delete it if it is malware.

Distributed Storage Across Four Storage Nodes With GlusterFS On Mandriva 2010.0
===============================================================================

This tutorial shows how to combine four single storage servers (running Mandriva 2010.0) to one large storage server (distributed storage) with GlusterFS. The client system (Mandriva 2010.0 as well) will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86_64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.
