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.).

The Perfect Desktop - Fedora 17
===============================

This tutorial shows how you can set up a Fedora 17 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.

How To Upgrade From Fedora 16 To Fedora 17 (Desktop & Server)
=============================================================

This article describes how you can upgrade your Fedora 16 system to Fedora 17. The upgrade procedure works for both desktop and server installations.

Virtualization With KVM On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
===========================================

This guide explains how you can install and use KVM for creating and running virtual machines on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server. I will show how to create image-based virtual machines and also virtual machines that use a logical volume (LVM). KVM is short for Kernel-based Virtual Machine and makes use of hardware virtualization, i.e., you need a CPU that supports hardware virtualization, e.g. Intel VT or AMD-V.

Your Cloud, Your Data, Your Way! - ownCloud 4.0 On CentOS 6.2 + nginx + PostgreSQL
==================================================================================

This document describes how to install and setup ownCloud by "ownCloud community" on a CentOS 6.2 based webserver from tar package on a nginx and php-fpm with postgreSQL database as backend. For other distributions there might be minor changes as to the software prerequisites installation procedures. This guide will not only help install the product, but also understand why certain points are done the way they are done (this is most helpful for users with little or no knowledge who, like me some time ago, have only started using Linux).

Creating An NFS-Like Standalone Storage Server With GlusterFS 3.2.x On Ubuntu 12.04
===================================================================================

This tutorial shows how to set up a standalone storage server on Ubuntu 12.04. Instead of NFS, I will use GlusterFS here. The client system 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.

Install Scrollout F1 Anti-Spam Firewall On Ubuntu In 30 Minutes
===============================================================

Scrollout F1 is a free anti-spam and anti-virus email firewall (gateway) for multiple domains and email servers. This document describes how to install Scrollout F1 from scratch, on a fresh Ubuntu Server. It should work also on Ubuntu Alternate version. The installation is easy. Even if you are a newbie in Linux there is not much room for errors.
