With Compiz Fusion you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop. falko Thu, 07 Jul 2011 11:44:21 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/enabling-compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu-11.10-oneiric-ocelot This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz Fusion on an Ubuntu Linux 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) Unity desktop (the system must have a 3D-capable graphics card - I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 8200 here). With Compiz Fusion you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop. falko Fri, 11 Nov 2011 09:53:08 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_sanesecurity_clamav_debian_ubuntu There is currently a lot of spam where the spam information is attached as .pdf or .xls files, sometime also hidden inside a .zip file. While these spam mails are not easy to catch with e.g. SpamAssassin or a Bayes filter, the ClamAV virus scanner can catch them easily when it is fed with the correct signatures as ClamAV is built to scan mail attachments. falko Wed, 25 Jul 2007 13:18:02 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/high-availability-storage-with-glusterfs-3.2.x-on-ubuntu-11.10-automatic-file-replication-across-two-storage-servers This tutorial shows how to set up a high-availability storage with two storage servers (Ubuntu 11.10) that use GlusterFS. Each storage server will be a mirror of the other storage server, and files will be replicated automatically across both storage servers. The client system (Ubuntu 11.10 as well) 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. falko Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:02:44 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/high-availability-storage-with-glusterfs-on-ubuntu-9.10-automatic-file-replication-mirror-across-two-storage-servers This tutorial shows how to set up a high-availability storage with two storage servers (Ubuntu 9.10) that use GlusterFS.

Please note that you should use this tutorial only if you have upgraded your bootloader to GRUB 2 previously. falko Thu, 03 Sep 2009 10:01:39 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-back-up-an-ubuntu-8.10-system-with-systemimager SystemImager lets you create images of your Linux installations. To do so, you need an image server (should have enough disk space to store your images) and a so-called golden client (i.e., the system of which you want to make an image). This means that you have to install some software on your image server and on your golden client in order to run SystemImager. This tutorial shows how to install a SystemImager server and a SystemImager client, both using Ubuntu 8.10, and how to create/update/restore/delete images. falko Thu, 13 Nov 2008 12:57:18 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-back-up-mysql-databases-with-mylvmbackup-on-ubuntu-12.10 mylvmbackup is a Perl script for quickly creating MySQL backups. It uses LVM's snapshot feature to do so. To perform a backup, mylvmbackup obtains a read lock on all tables and flushes all server caches to disk, creates a snapshot of the volume containing the MySQL data directory, and unlocks the tables again. This article shows how to use it on an Ubuntu 12.10 server. falko Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:19:30 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-build-a-standalone-file-server-with-nexenta-3.0-beta2 Nexenta is a project developing a debian user-land for the OpenSolaris kernel. This provides all of the advantages of apt as a package respoitory (based on the Ubuntu LTS apt repository, currently using 8.04) as well as the advantages of the ZFS filesystem. In the resulting setup every user can have his/her own home directory accessible via the SMB protocol or NFS with read-/write access. falko Thu, 06 May 2010 11:41:59 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/compile_rtorrent_from_svn_ubuntu Torrent is a great way to transfer large files very quickly. However most torrent clients are gui based and have quite some impact on system resources (e.g. Azureus). rTorrent is a lightweight client running from the terminal. Being able to run it in a screen session (also upon boot) makes it ideal to also control it from a remote location. falko Wed, 19 Sep 2007 08:34:34 GMT
