| | How To Build a Vhosted Linux Development Server on Windows using VirtualBox - I've been doing a fair bit of PHP and Python on Linux recently. My favorite PHP editor, PhpEd is Windows only. However, I prefer to develop LAMP code on LAMP. Here's a solution: Linux on VirtualBox, networked to the host Windows OS.

 | Better Broadband Bandwidth Utilization Using Wondershaper on a Linux Router to Limit the Uplink - Since I did some streaming video experiments in the early years of this century I've known that maxing both directions of an internet connection kills throughput. I did some experiments, initially to improve my SIP Phone performance (when my son is playing online games, TBH) and came up with a "low-hanging fruit" solution.

| | Convert a .crt Certificate to a .pem file - Every year or so I update CA'd certs and usually forget that my mailserver (cyrus+postfix) needs a PEM format file.

| | VirtualBox for Ubuntu on Vista 64 (The VMWare Killer for Developer VMs?) - Ok, that's an overstatement. I used VMWare Workstation successfully for a year to develop for Win2k web servers on my XP desktop. However, when I needed an Ubuntu guest on Windows Vista host (for Python/TurboGears dev), VMWare got ugly with various host apps.
I searched...and I found...VirtualBox. This doc is a loose how-to, because some steps were poorly documented. Page published on Feb. 13 2009, 2 links In Sysadmin | Jan. 2009 | Week of 02/09/09 |

| | Postfix, Cyrus, Web-Cyradm on Ubuntu: Mail Server Setup Guide - Postfix SMTP and Cyrus IMAP/POP3 are highly efficient open source server packages with extensive production burn in. Add the excellent open source anti spam and anti virus tools, SpamAssassin & ClamAV, along with the Web-Cyradm for a half-decent domain+account control panel, and you get a production quality mail server competitive in most ways with top commercial offerings. However, though the individual packages install and work, considerable tweaking is required to get the whole installation working smoothly together. Herein is a how-to for Ubuntu 8.04 server edition.

| | Postfix + Cyrus Imap - A Quick & Easy Setup for Suse 10.1 and The *non-MySQL* Case - In the past (Suse < 9) I've always had to build postfix and cyrus from scratch to get them to work together (could be my problem, I admit). In Suse 10.1 I've finally gotten them to work from the distro, with a few bits of config hacking, for local passwd users (no mysql based accounts in this config.)

| | Suse 10.0 Internet Install - DISCLAIMER DISCLAIMER: Ok, this seems to be the way to go. I don't know how far back this was supported, but if installing 10.x, try it out. DISCLAIMER: This note needs a rewrite because there's an easier way. I'm hoping this still works under 10.1, too, as I haven't checked it. You may want to check http://opensuse.us/viewtopic.php?t=149 for a 10.1 specific how-to. Page edited on Sep. 2 2007, 2 links In Sysadmin | Nov. 2005 | Sep. 2007 | Week of 09/03/07 |
