Ubuntu's OpenGL face browser with GNOME Desktop Manager
http://ubuntuland.nireblog.com/post/2008/05/05/ubuntus-openg...
GDM (the GNOME Display Manager) provides an alternative display manager for the X Window System.
The X Window System by default uses the XDM display manager. However, resolving XDM configuration issues typically involves editing a configuration file. GDM allows users to customize or troubleshoot settings without having to resort to a command line. Users can pick their session type on a per-login basis. GDM also features easy customisation with themes.

Veritas NetBackup, Encryption, Java and Configuration Hardware
http://ubuntuland.nireblog.com/post/2008/04/18/veritas-netba...
When the NetBackup encryption option is enabled, your backups may run slower. How much slower depends on the throttle point in your backup path. If the network is the issue, encryption should not hinder performance. If the network is not the issue, then encryption may slow down the backup.

sSMTP, a simple alternative to Sendmail
http://ubuntuland.nireblog.com/post/2008/04/19/ssmtp-a-simpl...
Linux distributions have relied on the venerable Sendmail package since the early days of Slackware. But Sendmail's rich mail server features aren't an ideal solution for the typical desktop user whose primary mail support is delivered through a remote ISP. That's the perfect place for a simpler solution: sSMTP.

Veritas NetBackup: Dedicated or Shared Backup Environment
http://ubuntuland.nireblog.com/post/2008/04/25/veritas-netba...
Dedicated or shared backup environment
One design decision is whether to make your backup environment dedicated or shared.
Dedicated SANs are secure but expensive. Shared environments cost less, but require
more work to make them secure. A SAN installation with a database may require the
performance of a RAID 1 array. An installation backing up a basic file structure may
satisfy its needs with RAID 5 or NAS.
