How To Set Up Software RAID1 On A Running System (Incl. GRUB Configuration)
(CentOS 5.3)
================================================================================\
========

This guide explains how to set up software RAID1 on an already running CentOS
5.3 system. The GRUB bootloader will be configured in such a way that the system
will still be able to boot if one of the hard drives fails (no matter which
one).

Set Up A Simple High-Availability Web Server For A Small Company Using Debian
Lenny
================================================================================\
===

This tutorial was written for the Debian Lenny distribution and supposes that
the user has knowledge about what load balancing is and some basic skills of
Linux, our two load balancers consist out of 2 machines that monitor each other
[heartbeat], if the master stops responding the secondary one [Backup] will take
the master role [Backup -> Master].

Installation & Configuration Of Intrusion Detection With Snort, ACIDBASE, MySQL,
And Apache2 On Ubuntu 9.04 Using SPM
================================================================================\
=====================================

This tutorial describes how to install and configure Snort intrusion detection
system (IDS), ACIDBASE (Basic Analysis and Security Engine), MySQL, and Apache2
on Ubuntu 9.04 using packages from Ubuntu's Synaptic Package Manager. Snort will
assist you in monitoring your network and alert you about possible threats.
Snort will output its log files to a MySQL database which ACIDBASE will use to
display in a graphical interface in web browser.

Daily Journal With Panel Launcher
=================================

I keep a daily journal because my memory is not what it used to be. I have
friends who keep daily journals just because they like to write. I use gedit for
most text-related work and recently learned how to make a special panel launcher
for my journal. I keep my daily journal in a folder called "office" but the
month and year change, so my journal for this month is named 200908.journal or
"yyyymm.journal". Now, making a panel launcher to open a file with gedit is no
big deal but I found that using "gedit /home/user/office/*.journal" in the
Command portion of the launcher doesn't work. I think this is due to the
wildcard, "*", and I will show you how to overcome this problem. Using the month
and year in the panel launcher requires that you edit the launcher every month
and I didn't want to have to do that so I came up with a way to open a file from
a panel launcher regardless of the file name.

Easier Reinstalls
=================

I typically reinstall my computer operating system every six months. The reasons
for this are that it cleans out the system and reinstalls require me to be in
front of the computer for a total of about ten minutes so it's painless. Notice
I said "in front of the computer", the system does all of the work for me with
some specially crafted bash scripts.
