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?

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.

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.

You hear it all the time from writers and your geek friends: "You should backup your computers." Well, here's one more geek to bug you about it again, but also to give some help.

Dump restore utilities for Linux backup
1 / 0
http://ubuntuland.nireblog.com/post/2007/12/29/dump-restore-...
Dump examines files in a filesystem, determines which ones need to be backed up, and copies those files to a specified disk, tape or other storage medium.
Subsequent incremental backups can then be layered on top of the full backup.

FileBunker is a file backup application which uses one or more GMail accounts as its backup repository.
Because each GMail account supplies 1000 megabytes of storage, it serves as an excellent facility for this purpose. Files are compressed and encrypted for security and efficiency, and can be restored on demand.

webCDwriter può essere usato per rendere disponibile agli utenti di una rete locale un masterizzatore CD/DVD (montato su una linux box).
L'applicativo consta di due parti, il server CDWserver ed i client webCDcreator e rcdrecord: il primo si occupa di memorizzare i file trasmessi dai client e di masterizzarli; webCDcreator è una Java applet che gira sul browser, permette di assemblare i file da masterizzare in forma grafica, al contrario di rcdrecord che funziona da command line.
