Submitted by falko on

This tutorial is supposed to show some features of the Enlightenment window manager as an alternative to the often used Gnome and KDE managers. I will install Enlightenment on a desktop computer with Ubuntu 11.10 installed. Apart from the login screen however, all of the controls shown on the screenshots should be the same for every installation of enlightenment, whatever distribution you install it on. Enlightenment is already included in the Ubuntu repositories, therefore Ubuntu users and those of any Ubuntu derivatives won't have any problems installing it. It is also available for download for most other distributions though.

Installing iRedMail And Mailman On Debian Squeeze

I'm a big fan of iRedMail, which is basically a packaged version of Postfix and the other bits that make Postfix cool, like Spamassassin, greylisting and an LDAP or MySQL backend. One thing I wanted with iRedMail is Mailman, my favourite mailing list server. Integrating the two can be a mission though, so here's some instruction to save you from quite a bit of pain.

Single sign-on is a great technology. Requiring users to login to multiple applications is huge hassle, encourages password reuse and simple passwords. Security needs to focus on usability. If you can make a user's life better while increasing security, everybody wins. In this how-to we will set up the open-source CAS SSO product with the WiKID Strong Authentication Server for two-factor authentication for sessions and mutual https authentication for host authentication.

Galaxy S+ as a modem

To use smartphone as a modem, it is enough to switch of more advanced means of providing internet to a computer, like USB tethering.

Plugging Samsung Galaxy S plus into USB automatically brings up Kies application and, after the connection is established, the clever little thingy appears like /dev/ttyACM0 .

From here onwards, one can treat it as a modem.

A problem I encountered was that after a certain period (of inactivity?), the phone disappears from /dev . Removing module
cdc_acm and then loading it again allows one to use his favourite
dialing application to reconnect. My platform is Asus EEE PC 1015PEM/Debian Squeeze .

Submitted by falko on

This tutorial shows how to set up file synchronization between two Ubuntu 11.10 servers with Unison. Unison is a file-synchronization tool similar to rsync, but the big difference is that it tracks/synchronizes changes in both directions, i.e., files changed on server1 will be replicated to server2 and vice versa.

Submitted by falko on

This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz on a Linux Mint 12 Lisa desktop (the system must have a 3D-capable graphics card - I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 8200 here). With Compiz you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop. Compiz is not supported on GNOME 3 yet, that's why this how-to is applicable only for the classic GNOME desktop.
