Get the most out of ZSH

Taking a walk for one of my preferred blogs I found an interesting article from IBM DeveloperWorks: “Get the most out of zsh”. I did’t know this shell until now and, reading the article, I was convinced to give it a try. icebook# sudo apt-get install zsh Take a look at it. Is the Bash era over? Looking for direct links?

Articolo su VoIP, NAT e STUN

Per chi non sa niente di queste cose, sembrerà quasi che io abbia ingoiato un boccone e mi stia strozzando. Per tutti questi “soggetti”, consiglio di non andar oltre ;) . Chi invece ha capito almeno 1 dei 3 acronimi, allora consiglio di seguire il mio consiglio e andarsi a leggere questo interessantissimo articolo/monologo sul blog di CRISIS. Un estratto: Tempo fa mi sono state sottoposte alcune domande riguardanti il VoIP, soprattutto come utilizzarlo in presenza di firewall e NAT che possono rendere impossibile la comunicazione a voce su IP. Dalla semplice risposta che mi ero proposto di scrivere, ne è scaturito qualcosa di un po’ più articolato, che prende di petto alcuni dei problemi nei quali incorrono gli utilizzatori del VoIP, tentando di dare una semplice spiegazione teorica. Il testo è diviso in due differenti parti, per dare al lettore il tempo di assimilare i contenuti in maniera graduale.

PowerUp your Apache .htaccess

Here is a collection of “code snippets” about the .htaccess file of Apache. Take a look: it’s full of usefull things. It remembers to me about a very little howto (in italian) that help to make multiple web-sites on the same machine… without virtual-hosts: a very little and poor self-production.

Installing a Bind9 Master/Slave DNS System

Welcome In this howto we will install 2 bind dns servers, one as the master and the other as a slave server. For security reasons we will chroot bind9 in its own jail. Using two servers for a domain is a commonly used setup and in order to host your own domain you are required to have at least 2 domain servers. If one breaks, the other can continue to serve your domain. Our setup will use Debian Sarge 3.1 (stable) for its base. A simple clean and up2date install will be enough since we will install the required packages with this howto. In this howto I will use the fictional domain “linux.lan”. The nameservers will use 192.168.254.1 and 192.168.254.2 as there ip. ...

LPI 202 Tutorial on DeveloperWorks: Web Services

Filesystems serious and realistic comparison

Nemo translated (in Italian, of course) an interesting comparison between the most diffused filesystems on Linux (and not only on The Penguin): Ext2/3, Reiserfs 3, XFS, JFS. The original article was posted by hansivers on the Debian Administration Website. Conclusion? XFS rulez!!! And I’m on the same: I start to use XFS average 2 years ago… and some big partitions on my HD still demonstrate optimal performance. Good Job, SGI!
