| | I have spent the last four days going slowly insane trying to get a cross compiler to work for debianslug (a little endian version of Linux for ARM). I wont go into the bitter details but suffice to say it was painful and I didnt get there in the end. |

| | Microsoft offers a package called SFU, Services For UNIX. This package is freely available and is intended to help migrate users from UNIX to Windows. One of the services, ssod, can be used to help keep UNIX and Windows users in sync...with a little extra effort. |

| | Modify the vsftpd.conf file to use virtual users in chroot'ed jails. I have included a character mode management utility written in Perl that makes common tasks such as adding users, changing passwords, viewing passwords, easy enough for a Windows admin to manage. |

| So, I've been running Ubuntu 5.10 since 2005-10-13, and I have a few thoughts on it.
Thus far, my conclusion stands. Ubuntu is Debian with a lot of the sharp edges rounded off. And it just gets better with each release, really. |

| Take a free unix shell for a test drive today
Ever fancied a play with a HP's exciting 64-bit Itanium, Alpha, and PA-RISC technologies? Or perhaps just wanted to mess about on a Debian GNU/Linux shell to see what you can learn. How about taking and Oracle 9i real application cluster for a test drive?
If the answers yes to any of the above questions, why not have a play with HP TestDrive system which gives free and reasonably unfetted access to many different types of systems.

| This script is a skeleton for creating useradd strings.
Use this script in Linux environments where several types of users have specific account credentials, or add it to a pseudo-list for junior admins or less privilaged accounts so they can safely handle useradd tasks. |

| Add a little flare to a simple random password generation tool.
It's not efficent, and its not all that entropic, but its kinda cool.

| | This is an older article that I wrote after testing 'Fedora Core 1', It was intended to be a first look at the operating system. I have submitted another piece that relates to Linux as a desktop OS in general, the two articles should not be mixed up, this is not a treatise on how ready Linux is for the public, but on how well it has been designed in general. |

| | Linux is the geek operating system of choice, in fact I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you are probably not a true computer geek unless you have at least played with linux at some point. The question remains is linux at a stage where it can be used by everyone? Is it ready for public consumption or is it a pipe dream? |

| Even with the advent of the advanced kernel level routing/packet filtering available with the netfilter package in the 2.4 kernel series...ipchains remains a valuable tool for creation of linux firewalls and routers.
I personally implement an ipchains firewall as the gateway to my webserver LAN. You can use inexpensive hardware, with a 486 w/ 32MB RAM capable of handling the full bandwidth of a T-1, as long as no proxy services or any other daemons are active on the machine.

| | With all the M$ bashing going on, it may seem that the main reason to use linux is that it's not M$, which makes it seem like a second-rate OS, i.e. M$ makes the best product, but we don't want to use it because they're bad, so we'll use the next best thing... This isn't the case. There are many positive reasons for using Linux, as well. |
