Simple Linux Auditing |
vote
 |
|
| Basic Linux system auditing is a bit tricky and data collected and information of that is out of place and readability is not that good. Recently this lead me to put together a Open Source code project and develop simple BASH scripts that do the job nicely. The code and tar ball can be downloaded from both google code or from SourceForge's website and the project website has links to documentation, help, installation and code. read more...

Three hot extensions for Fedora 16 and GNOME 3 installations |
vote

A default installation of a distribution using GNOME 3 can be a pain to use, but thanks to available extensions, you can make your GNOME 3 installation a little bit more fun to use, or at least closer to the type of desktop environment you are used to.
While there are almost 100 extensions available on the GNOME 3 extensions webpage, I find three of them to be almost indispensable. Do not use GNOME 3 without them! read more... |

Enable desktop slideshow on Linux Mint 12 KDE |
vote

Every Linux distribution comes with a static desktop wallpaper. Some of the wallpapers are very good, others, not so good. The default (wallpaper) on Linux Mint 12 KDE Release Candidate fits somewhere in between.
You can change to another one with just a few mouse actions. But rather than change to another static wallpaper, why not spice up the desktop with a desktop slideshow, so that a new wallpaper shows every 10 seconds. read more... |
