In the comments section of a recent post, I mentioned that I used my /etc/hosts file to test out a site after moving it to a new server. Instead of leaving it in the comments, I thought I would pull that knowledge out into a post.
As regular readers can probably surmise, I’ve been doing an […]
I’ve had the dubious pleasure of moving hosts twice in the last week. The first time was from an unmanaged VPS at Unixshell to a managed VPS at TekTonic. The second move was from the managed VPS at TekTonic to a managed VPS at PowerVPS. The difference between an unmanaged plan and a managed plan […]
Too bad, I really enjoyed TUX and I’ve always felt close to it because of the close birthday it has with my first foray into podcasting. Having spoken with Nick Petrely on a few occassion and having written an article for the sister publication, Linux Journal, I’ve always had a soft spot for SSC.
If you’re […]
I recently moved our podcast, The JaK Attack! to a new server. My master plan was to just tar up the directories, wget them across to the new server, untar them and call it a day. Well, I had to dump and restore the databases as well, but that’s another story.
What I very quickly learned […]
I’m on Pearson’s book reviewer list so once a month or so I get sent another Linux book from them. In a lot of cases, the book hasn’t been released yet and what I get is a draft manuscipt. In other cases, the books are on the shelf.
In any case, it’s been about 4 months […]
I am now an official memberr of the Linux-weenie society. You don’t hear much about the Linux-weenie society, but most (if not all) Linux users are secret members. How did I get inducted?
When I attempted to delete a *.bak file in my awstats directory I typed this:
rm * .bak
See the space? Yes. It took […]
I’ve put together a little video of the things you can do with CosmoPOD premium. I had to hand hold the video camera so it’s a little shaky. Take some Bonamine and you’ll be fine :)
It’s over on The Linux Learning Station.

This is a tricky subject and I’ve had brilliant successes and dismal failures with it. If you have a Synaptics touchpad, you can use the following steps. If you have an ALPS touchpad then I *believe* the same steps will work for you, but I can’t be sure. Synaptics, at least, also has a GUI […]
OK, I’ll admit it - I’m the reader in this case.
I was reading the booting section of my fancy-dancy LPI certification book and it speaks about kernel parameters. It mentions that you can feed the kernel parameters at boot time (which will be the subject of an upcoming entry) and also states that you can […]
I ran across this crazy application yesterday named knockd. Knockd is a daemon that listens for a specified series of ‘knocks’ on specified ports and then performs a specified action. Do I win an award for using the word ’specified’ three times in one sentence?
This may not be a new Linux user topic per se, […]
