ISPConfig Monitor App for Android Phones
========================================

With the ISPConfig Monitor App, you can check your server status and find out if all services are running as expected. You can check TCP and UDP ports and ping your servers. In addition to that you can use this app to request details from servers that have ISPConfig installed; these details include everything you know from the Monitor module in the ISPConfig Control Panel (e.g. services, mail and system logs, mail queue, CPU and memory info, disk usage, quota, OS details, RKHunter log, etc.).

Installing Cinnamon Desktop On Fedora 16 And OpenSuse 12.1
==========================================================

This tutorial will show you how to install the Cinnamon desktop, Mint's new desktop environment to be used in Linux Mint 13, on Fedora 16 as well as on OpenSUSE 12.1. Cinnamon concentrates on holding on to classic design and functionality in times where Gnome 3 and Unity come up with different innovations to the user interface.

Installing Subversion And Configuring Access Through Different Protocols On Ubuntu 11.10
========================================================================================

Subversion (svn) is an open-source version control system (VCS), used in the development of many software projects. This tutorial shows how to install Subversion on Ubuntu 11.10 and how to configure it to allow access to a repository through different protocols: file://, http://, https://, svn://, and svn+ssh://.

Using PHP5-FPM With Apache2 On CentOS 6.2
=========================================

This tutorial shows how you can install an Apache2 webserver on a CentOS 6.2 server with PHP5 (through PHP-FPM) and MySQL support. PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for sites of any size, especially busier sites.

Creating A Portable MySQL On CentOS 6 And Ubuntu 11.10 Linux From Sources
=========================================================================

This tutorial shows how to create a portable MySQL installation on GNU/Linux. At the end of this guide you will obtain a portable MySQL installation on a target directory with its own databases, binaries, logs, pid files, etc. Consider always the use of a permission preserving packaging (like TAR) for moving the installation between systems or removable storages.

How To Install KVM And libvirt On CentOS 6.2 With Bridged Networking
====================================================================

This tutorial describes how to install the KVM hypervisor and libvirt virtualization library on Linux CentOS 6.2. At the end of this guide you will have a CentOS box (name it host) with the following capabilities: virtualization capacity: chance for multiple guests (Linux/Windows) running and sharing the host's hardware; bridge network configuration: you'll be able to directly access to the guests as if they were physical machines on the same LAN and viceversa; visual management: using virt-manager (I use Ubuntu 11.10 in this howto) you will be able to remotely admin the virtual machines on the CentOS host.

Tag Sound Files With Easytag (Linux Mint 12)
============================================

This tutorial is supposed to show you how to change your sound files' information like artist or title, also called tags, in a fast way using Easytag. I am using Linux Mint 12 as an operating system, however the steps should not differ greatly from other Ubuntu based distributions. Easytag is only capable of tagging MP3, MP2, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MP4/AAC, MusePack or Monkey's Audio files.
