The Perfect Desktop - OpenSUSE 11.4 (GNOME)
===========================================

This tutorial shows how you can set up an OpenSUSE 11.4 desktop 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.

Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And MySQL Support On OpenSUSE 11.4 (LAMP)
======================================================================

LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. This tutorial shows how you can install an Apache2 webserver on an OpenSUSE 11.4 server with PHP5 support (mod_php) and MySQL support.

How To Configure PureFTPd To Accept TLS Sessions On Ubuntu 10.10
================================================================

FTP is a very insecure protocol because all passwords and all data are transferred in clear text. By using TLS, the whole communication can be encrypted, thus making FTP much more secure. This article explains how to configure PureFTPd to accept TLS sessions on an Ubuntu 10.10 server.

How To Set Up A Feng Office Suite Web Server On Ubuntu Server 10.10
===================================================================

This howto describes how to set up a local intranet web based office suite server (on Ubuntu 10.10 server) based on Feng Office which used to be OpenGoo. Feng Office has a range of groupware type products such as word processing, email, calendar, and presentations.

How To Save Traffic With Lighttpd's mod_compress (Debian Squeeze)
=================================================================

In this tutorial I will describe how to configure mod_compress on a Lighttpd web server (on Debian Squeeze). mod_compress allows Lighttpd to compress files and deliver them to clients (e.g. browsers) that can handle compressed content which most modern browsers do. With mod_compress, you can compress HTML, CSS, Javascript, text or XML files to approx. 20 - 30% of their original sizes, thus saving you server traffic and making your modem users happier.

Send Instant Messages (Notifies) By XMPP (Jabber/Google Talk) From Linux Command Line
=====================================================================================

sendxmpp is a perl-script to send xmpp (jabber), similar to what mail does for mail. Obviously, to use sendxmpp , you need a jabber account; they are freely available at jabber.org, but you can also run your own server. The good news is, instant messaging between the Google Talk servers and its clients uses an open protocol, XMPP, allowing users of other XMPP/Jabber clients to communicate with Google Talk users. This tutorial shows how you can compile and install SendXMPP on CentOS 5.5 server.

Network UPS Tools (NUT) For USB UPSs On CentOS 5.5
==================================================

This tutorial shows how to configure and use Network UPS Tools (NUT) software with an USB (Uninterruptible Power Supply) on CentOS 5.5. NUT is a software which supports several thousand models.
