It's the ultimate guide to booting multiple operating systems on the same PC, including Linux, windoze XP, 7, and vista.
The best part is it details every step of the way with plenty of screenshots and has guides depending on what you've installed first.

This should be the first link anyone should go to before asking questions about dual-booting. Maybe we could sticky this?

On the other hand, they've even made a guide on virtualisation and running different operating systems within one another, over here: http://apcmag.com/the_ultimate_guide_to … zation.htm

Formating USB pen drive in Linux is pretty much easy

Connect the USB drive and as a root user give the command fdisk  - l    from a terminal
u will get the device partition name like /dev/sdb1 some thing like that

Now

To Format the pen drive

As root user issue the following command with attached usb pendrive

#mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1

(where /dev/sdb1 is the device path and .vfat means we are formating to FAT)
To label the disk issue the following command
#e2label /dev/sdb1 MyDisk
(where MyDisk is the label)

I've been searching for using a PHP CMS as a main one, but I'm a bit confused on which one to choose !
As you may know, there's many of them.

Please tell me your ideas about it ..

I need to create shell accounts, with limited background processes, and applying some restrictions to the users. also I would like to add a ~/www for hosting that clients webpage.

I've done half of what i've mentioned some time back  But it didnt work out the way I wanted it to be,... I had to enable each service separately and doing this for a number of users was hectic. is there a utility of some sort that would automate the whole process....shell/http/ftp and so on.

here are some of my requirements:

1) Authentication password + private/public rsa key
2)  chroot directory
3) all user accounts go under a custom folder /uaelug/username1 /uaelug/username2
4) sftp enabled so I will not require an ftp server
5) http access under ~/username1/www (apache)
6) user logging + anything that would enhance security
7) limit ul/dl  without the reliance  on a proxy server (I have a proxy server, but this machine wont be behind it)

Thank You,
Tux

I have a PHP compiling error. Trying to follow this article. http://deekayen.net/drupal-snow-leopard
Trying to backgrade to PHP 5.3 to PHP 5.2.

Can anyone clarify what this line is.

Add -lresolv on EXTRA_LIBS in Makefile, or you'll get an error with dns.o right at the end of the compile.

Thanks, noussh.
