The Perfect Desktop - Pinguy OS 12.04
=====================================

This tutorial shows how you can set up a Pinguy OS 12.04 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.

Using PHP5-FPM With Apache2 On Fedora 17
========================================

This tutorial shows how you can install an Apache2 webserver on a Fedora 17 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.

Using mod_spdy With Apache2 On Fedora 17
========================================

SPDY (pronounced "SPeeDY") is a new networking protocol whose goal is to speed up the web. It is Google's alternative to the HTTP protocol and a candidate for HTTP/2.0. SPDY augments HTTP with several speed-related features such as stream multiplexing and header compression. To use SPDY, you need a web server and a browser (like Google Chrome and upcoming versions of Firefox) that both support SPDY. mod_spdy is an open-source Apache module that adds support for the SPDY protocol to the Apache HTTPD server. This tutorial explains how to use mod_spdy with Apache2 on Fedora 17.

Installing Cherokee With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Ubuntu 12.04
===============================================================

Cherokee is a very fast, flexible and easy to configure Web Server. It supports the widespread technologies nowadays: FastCGI, SCGI, PHP, CGI, TLS and SSL encrypted connections, virtual hosts, authentication, on the fly encoding, load balancing, Apache compatible log files, and much more. This tutorial shows how you can install Cherokee on an Ubuntu 12.04 server with PHP5 support (through FastCGI) and MySQL support.

ProFTPd: Enabling/Disabling TLS Based On User Or Group
======================================================

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. While this is a good thing, not all FTP clients support TLS. This article explains how to enable or disable TLS in ProFTPd based on the FTP user or group.

App Development For Android On Android In Four Steps
====================================================

This guide gives you a quick insight into creating Android apps directly on an Android device. This short article is not meant as a full documentation, but rather guides you in the right direction so that you should get the idea. There are a lot of app howto's for Android on Eclipse, but none for on Android, so here's the skinny.
