How to install Qingy on Fedora. This will work on Fedora 8, Fedora 9, or Fedora 10. It’s all the same, so this will apply to all Fedora versions with directfb and directfb-devel in the repository. If you don’t find them in the repos, just build them from source too.

Use cryptsetup to setup dm-crypt managed device-mapper mappings. This method will allow you to use an encrypted mapping to transparently read and write encrypted data so that you and your applications don’t even need to worry about handling any encryption at all; it will just work, trust me. If you need to save data that’s already on the device, then copy it somewhere else, encrypt the drive, and copy it all back after encrypting.

Here’s my notes from trimming a little off the top of an apache server. This was just a quick chop at the default install. I haven’t looked at how the webapps are used or how many connections or the length of time per connection or anything… I’ll go back later and tweak how many threads and processes are started and used.

Here’s yet another good reason to think about breaking free from your mental slavery to microsoft. The same ones who had 4 xp desks in a perpetually broken state, even with AV and limited accounts, haven’t broken a default linux install yet.

The smallest linux computer in the world! 19 milimeters by 19 millimeters tall!

Fedora 8 has just reached the end of support. If you insist on doing a yum upgrade instead of just saving your home partition and reinstalling the rest, here’s how to do the upgrade. It might help if you keep your fingers crossed while doing all the typing.

gdmsetup is missing from Fedora 9 and 10. You’ll have to do it all from the commandline. Your gui was just a little hand-holding for the command-line handicapped anyway.
Here’s all I was looking to do:
[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=theuser

Eclipse and gnu’s crappy java, otherwise known as gij, don’t seem to get along. Even when you give gij tons of memory using vargs -Xmx1024m when launching eclipse, it still just seems flaky. So I tried java’s Icedtea 1.7.0 and my memory crisis went away.
To see which jvm …

By default most linux distributions give you a single display assuming that you have a computer or laptop with just one physical display device. But there’s no reason you can’t take advantage of multiple sessions using your virtual terminals instead of just 1 gui with a bunch of text consoles.

shc is the only tool i’ve found that will compile scripts so idle hands won’t tamper with your bash shell scripts. Yes, I know I could just use permissions to keep people from reading them and it’s easy to reverse engineer the binary code, but I look at it like …
