Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail
(Mandriva 2009.1 x86_64)
================================================================================\
================

This document describes how to install a Postfix mail server that is based on
virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in a MySQL database.
I'll also demonstrate the installation and configuration of Courier
(Courier-POP3, Courier-IMAP), so that Courier can authenticate against the same
MySQL database Postfix uses.

Mandriva 2009.1 Samba Standalone Server With tdbsam Backend
===========================================================

This tutorial explains the installation of a Samba fileserver on Mandriva 2009.1
and how to configure it to share files over the SMB protocol as well as how to
add users. Samba is configured as a standalone server, not as a domain
controller. In the resulting setup, every user has his own home directory
accessible via the SMB protocol and all users have a shared directory with
read-/write access.

How To Set Up Apache2 With mod_fcgid And PHP5 On Mandriva 2009.1
================================================================

This tutorial describes how you can install Apache2 with mod_fcgid and PHP5 on
Mandriva 2009.1. mod_fcgid is a compatible alternative to the older mod_fastcgi.
It lets you execute PHP scripts with the permissions of their owners instead of
the Apache user.

How To Set Up Apache2 With mod_fcgid And PHP5 On Fedora 11
==========================================================

This tutorial describes how you can install Apache2 with mod_fcgid and PHP5 on
Fedora 11. mod_fcgid is a compatible alternative to the older mod_fastcgi. It
lets you execute PHP scripts with the permissions of their owners instead of the
Apache user.

How To Set Up WebDAV With Apache2 On Fedora 11
==============================================

This guide explains how to set up WebDAV with Apache2 on a Fedora 11 server.
WebDAV stands for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning and is a set of
extensions to the HTTP protocol that allow users to directly edit files on the
Apache server so that they do not need to be downloaded/uploaded via FTP. Of
course, WebDAV can also be used to upload and download files.

Installing Apache And ColdFusion 9 On Ubuntu 9.04
=================================================

This is a guide on installing Apache and ColdFusion 9 on a clean install of
Ubuntu 9.04. This starts with a clean install on Ubuntu 9.04 with no additional
options selected during the install. If you are planning on running PHP side by
side with ColdFusion my recommendation is to set up PHP first then ColdFusion.

Command-Line Copy&Paste With xclip (Debian/Ubuntu)
==================================================

xclip is a command line interface to the X11 clipboard. It allows you to put the
output of a command directly into the clipboard so that you don't have to
copy&paste from the terminal manually (which can be a tedious task especially if
the output is very long). It also allows you to put the contents of a file
directly into the clipboard.

Automated Backups Using dhcpd On Ubuntu
=======================================

This tutorial shows how to set up automated backups of Linux hosts through dhcp
using Ubuntu.
