Five Reasons Ubuntu is the #1 Linux Distro
1 / 0
 
http://www.dawningvalley.com/2008/07/five-reasons-ubuntu-is-...
Ubuntu is, according to DistroWatch, the #1 Linux distribution. That’s a huge feat in itself. However, once you realize that Ubuntu is only three and a half years old, the feat is much bigger. How did the Linux rookie beat out the nine-year-old Mandrake, the fourteen-year-old SUSE, or the fifteen-year-old Debian?

Why is proprietary software so bad?
1 / 0
http://www.dawningvalley.com/2008/06/linux-land-why-is-propr...
One of the biggest arguments in the Linux world rages around proprietary software (software restricted by license and/or price). The majority of the Linux users out there are for pure FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software). That is, they only want FLOSS software on their machines. This movement really took off mostly because many of the original Linux and UNIX pioneers were firm FLOSS disciples. However, many users, especially the less philosophical and the more pragmatic, have gotten into the habit of simply wanting what works. Which is the right answer?

VeritasNetBackup: Restores from multiplexed database backups
1 / 0
http://ubuntuland.nireblog.com/post/2008/05/31/veritasnetbac...
NetBackup can run several restores at the same time from a single multiplexed tape. This is done by means of the
MPX_RESTORE_DELAY option, which specifies how long, in seconds, the server waits for additional restore requests of files or raw partitions that are in a set of multiplexed images on the same tape. The restore requests received within this
period are executed simultaneously. By default, the delay is 30 seconds.

Sitback is a backup daemon/utility for small/medium scale systems
1 / 0
http://ubuntulandforever.blogspot.com/2008/05/sitback-is-bac...
Sitback is actual just another tar/gzip interface. It evolved from a bash-script I wrote to handle automated backup's on Linux fileservers.
The script worked ok, but it soon proved difficult and tiresome to make local modifications to the script to handle various problems or differences.

Games for Linux
1 / 0
http://ubuntulandforever.blogspot.com/2008/05/games-for-linu...
About a week ago, Joe Barr posted a feature on Linux.com titled "New Alien Arena 6.10 blows away its FPS competition" yet gave no real comparisons with other similar games, regretable since his conclusion was that it "blows away its competition".
This was done in the same style as Barr's previous feature, "Tremulous: The best free software game ever?" which described Tremulous but also lacked comparisons and relations to other games. This feature hopes to be a thorough comparison of the major free software shooters.

Basic MySQL User Utility Commands

Better yet, as everybody's working on dynamic web pages today, our nice database server is very quick at estabilishing a connection. If you have already tried a CGI script connecting to Oracle, DB2 or some other powerhouse database you know how the connection time can slow down your web site.
As with any modern tool, you can write C programs to get your data from, but it's easier to write a REXX script or a Java applet. It even comes ready with an easy to use web gateway. Add to this wide multi-platform coverage and we have a perfect match to our desires.

CDBackup, utility designed to work with any backup and restore for Linux
1 / 0
http://ubuntulandforever.blogspot.com/2008/05/cdbackup-utili...
CDBackup is a utility designed to make backups to CD- R(W) media easier.
It is designed to work with any backup and restore software that can read from stdin,write to stdout, and can handle linear devices such as tape drives.
Dump/restore, cpio, afio, and tar should all work fine.
