The Perfect Desktop - Pinguy OS 11.04
=====================================

This tutorial shows how you can set up a Pinguy OS 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. Pinguy OS 11.04 is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu 11.04.

Apache2: How To Redirect Users To Mobile Or Normal Web Site Based On Device Using mod_rewrite
=============================================================================================

Since the massive rise of smartphones and tablets like the iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, BlackBerries, etc. you might have considered creating a mobile version of your web site. This tutorial explains how to configure Apache to serve the mobile version of your web site if the visitor uses a mobile device, and the normal version if the visitor uses a normal desktop PC. This can be achieved with Apache's rewrite module.

Running Drupal 7.7 On Nginx (LEMP) On Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.04
=================================================================

This tutorial shows how you can install and run a Drupal 7.7 web site on a Debian Squeeze or Ubuntu 11.04 system that has nginx installed instead of Apache (LEMP = Linux + nginx (pronounced "engine x") + MySQL + PHP). In addition to that I will also show you how you can use the Drupal Boost plugin with nginx. nginx is a HTTP server that uses much less resources than Apache and delivers pages a lot of faster, especially static files.

How To Upgrade VMware ESXi 3.5 To 4.1 Update 1 (Free Version)
=============================================================

In this guide I will show you how to upgrade VMWare ESXi 3.5 to ESXi 4.1 Update 1 (Free Version) without going through the pain of reinstalling your host server and then restoring your VMs.

Restricting Users To SFTP Plus Setting Up Chrooted SSH/SFTP (Debian Squeeze)
============================================================================

This tutorial describes how to give users chrooted SSH and/or chrooted SFTP access on Debian Squeeze. With this setup, you can give your users shell access without having to fear that they can see your whole system. Your users will be jailed in a specific directory which they will not be able to break out of. I will also show how to restrict users to SFTP so that they cannot use SSH (this part is independent from the chroot part of this tutorial).

Installing Lighttpd With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Fedora 15
============================================================

Lighttpd is a secure, fast, standards-compliant web server designed for speed-critical environments. This tutorial shows how you can install Lighttpd on a Fedora 15 server with PHP5 support (through FastCGI) and MySQL support.

Lan Management System (LMS) On Debian Squeeze - Router Howto
============================================================

LMS (Lan Management System) is a good system for small ISPs made in Poland. But installation, configuration and integration with firewall or traffic shaping mechanisms could take a lot of time. Here you can try my scripts for express-installation of LMS. The scripts were tested in several companies.

Converting Audio Files On Linux Mint
====================================

This article covers the issue of converting audio files on Linux Mint. Converting audio files can be a hard thing to accomplish if one does not have the proper tools to do so, that is why I will also cover a few different applications capable of converting.
