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.).

Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Debian Wheezy)
=======================================================================================

This document describes how to install a Postfix mail server that is based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in a MySQL database. I'll also demonstrate the installation and configuration of Courier, so that Courier can authenticate against the same MySQL database Postfix uses. The resulting Postfix server is capable of SMTP-AUTH and TLS and quota. Passwords are stored in encrypted form in the database. In addition to that, this tutorial covers the installation of Amavisd, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, and SquirrelMail.

Removing Signatures From Various Packages
=========================================

This tutorial shows you how to remove the Debian signature/version info from packages such as Apache, Postfix or SSH. There are various reasons to remove the signature (and therefore hide that you are using Debian/a specific version). The most important one is about security. When a hacker knows the distro you are using, he can search for well-known security issues and start an attack against them. If he doesn't know the distro in use, chances to not find any security holes are much larger.

Installing Debian Squeeze On Pogoplug v3/Oxnas Cleanly
======================================================

ArchLinux ARM ("ALARM") has officially dropped support for the PogoPlug v3/Oxnas in June 2013. Actually, the Oxnas port was already broken before due to ArchLinux' cutting edge philosophy and causing users many troubles, although it was working fine somewhen in 2012. The main purpose of this tutorial is to provide instructions on how to build and install a Debian rootfs from scratch on the Pogoplug v3/Oxnas, using only official binaries from Debian and ALARM.

Installing Kaldin Online Exam Management Solution On Debian 7 (Wheezy - AMD64)
==============================================================================

Kaldin is a java/tomcat based online assessment software to help instructors create online assessments. The script presented in this tutorial will install Kaldin for you. I have successfully tested this script on Debian_7.0.0 amd64 netinst CD image. So Ubuntu_12.04 should also work fine but use at your own risk.
