Synchronize and replicate disparate RDBMS's with SqlSync...
SqlSync lets you compare two databases to see which tuples have been added, removed, and changed. You can also use SqlSync to make one database a clone of another and maintain its contents to be that way. One benefit of using SqlSync to perform synchronization is that you can perform heterogeneous syncs -- for example, from MySQL to PostgreSQL. read more... |

Ubuntu 8 Review |

What's new in Ubuntu 8.04...
Hardy Heron has been designated as one of Ubuntu’s periodic Long Term Support – or LTS – releases, for which the company commits itself to providing three years desktop support and five years server support. This means that Hardy Heron isn’t going to go anywhere soon; it’s here for the long haul. This invariably means the designers have focused less on putting brand new stuff in but rather more stability, more robustness and more reliability.

Web Based Project Management with Collabtive |
 vote
 |
|
| Project management is becoming an increasingly important part of the Sys Admin's life.

This is where tools such as Collabtive come in. Collabtive is a web based project management tool that supports everything that you need to plan out and complete your projects. read more... |

Tutorial: SFTP chroot user jail with OpenSSH 5.x |
 vote
 |
|
The OpenSSH 4.9-5.x updates now include built in jailing. It is still a little confusing, so I have written an update to my former 4.x tutorial.
This tutorial shows how to set up a safe chroot for your users. It offers chroot only and will deny all SSH access. It should only take about thirty minutes from start to finish including package download times if you don't already have them.
This method is safer because it doesn't allow the users access to any commands such as a compiler or the perl interpreter. You will not need to install any extensive libraries or copy hundreds of files for functional use.
The user will be 'jailed' to any directory you choose which will mean that they will see "/home/username/" as just "/" disabling them from seeing your entire server or others users files while still using SECURE FTP. read more... |

Review: Fedora 9 on a USB stick |

Two weeks with Fedora 9 Linux...
Fedora 9 booted up from the 2GB USB stick I used, and, through the virtue of solid state, did so a lot more quickly than CD-based LiveCD images do. I used my portable Fedora 9 system to browse the Internet. I downloaded some things, and I installed a piece of software, too. I tried rebooting the system, and, sure enough, the changes I'd made did persist. read more... |

VirtualBox 1.5.6 Review |

Host operating systems include Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS X ...
Like VMware VirtualBox is a program that runs on the operating system of the machine on which it's installed but which provides a complete virtual environment which enables the creation of virtual machines that run other operating systems. These systems are usually termed guest systems, in contrast to the host operating system which is installed on the real, physical machine. It means, for example, that a host system running Windows XP can have guest systems running Linux, other versions of Windows, Solaris and so on. read more... |
