HowTo: Rsync
One of the major complaints I have seen from members of the (non linux)
press and tech savvy/advisory websites about linux for enterprise is the
'poor or missing' backup tools available. I have a single rebuttal for
this quip, and it's rsync. Rsync is the modern 'swiss army knife' of
moving and managing large amounts of data in Linux. This utility is an
essential part of my Linux backup strategy and hopefully in this article
I will show you how to make it part of yours as well.
Review: Mandrake PPC 8.2
As Mandrake never ported version 8.1 of their Linux distribution to the
PPC platform, the latest available version till now was Mandrake PPC
8.0. While the latter certainly was a nice distribution, yet it started
being really outdated and even had trouble installing on recent Apple
hardware. So many people certainly wonder now whether Mandrake PPC 8.2
has been worth waiting for so long.
Guide: Setting up a virtual Mail server with XMail
Setting up a basic mail server can be a hard task at times. Especially
when you want it to handle mail for multiple domains and multiple
accounts on a single machine. In most of the cases, if you want it to do
mail delivery (incoming and outgoing) as well as handle POP3 mail
accounts, this may require the use of multiple software packages.
Choosing the packages that can interoperate is not obvious then.
However, there are a couple of complete Mail server packages which can
come in handy and present several advantages.
