Passwordless Logins over ssh
17 Apr 2008
 I wrote this up for the documentation on a mysql backup script i wrote that backups up your mysql database and emails it off to you. It can also be setup via scp to transfer really large backups to a remote server via ssh using passwordless logins.
Here is how you can setup ssh keys for passwordless logins.

Everyone has heard it, if not asked it themselves. "What is the best version of linux for a beginner". Well in the past there was hundreds of answers but as linux has matured as a technology and all of the commercial companies have been scampering trying to differentiate themselves from each other. It seems a new leader has emerged.
Kubuntu(KDE) and Ubuntu(Gnome)
Mark Shuttleworth, the first african citizen in space has funded the development of theses two projects with 10 million dollars of seed money.
This my friends, is linux done right, it follows one major principle which most distro's do poorly. Keeping It Simple, everything most people need is already installed and there is virtually no rocket science required to get linux up and running.
Read On... | Fun with Debian
03 Dec 2005
I have been working more and more with Debian and while i started out years ago on debian and then went and played with everything else i find myself amazed by how sweet debian can be when you have the basics down.
Debian is a very network dependant OS and that swords cuts both ways but the power of it is awe inspiring when wielded properly. The fun part is finding sources for programs not provided in debian main.
The best starting point is usually http://www.apt-get.org.
One of the issues here though is GPG keys. Someone else is packaging these programs up and signing or not signing them and your going to install them. Check out the source, most people working with debian are quite visible and if they are unsigned i tend to be weary. If they pass the test though and hopefully are signing their packages you can import their key easily enough.

Read On... | Building the Ultimate Linux Powered In-Car PC
13 Feb 2005
 For about the last 9 months I have been wanting to build a Car-PC. 4 months ago TR hooked me up with a EPIA M10000 Mini-ITX motherboard and its been staring at me for way to long now.
Finally, I can't take it anymore, after comparing all of the cool hardware out there i have pulled out the credit card and started picking up the hardware for this project, i expect it to take me 3 months to build/order/pay/install. My major reason for wanting this is purely business related. I work as a Computer Consultant and live or die depending on my ability to access my customer database. Anytime i need a number or any info, its seconds away as long as i am online. When i am on the road, late to a service call or just need a map to the clients site, i need internet access to get to it. All i am wanting to do is have my LAMP apps available, sync the databases everytime the car associates with my AP.

Read On... | Get your grub on
20 Jun 2004
 Most people only learn something when they have to, I am no different.
Lilo has served me well over the years and i think i understand it well enough to use it to do my bidding.
Recently upon installing Debian Sarge on my desktop i ended up with a system that needed to have a custom kernel built for it due to a few missing modules and found out i had grub installed which i have actively tried to avoid learning since i have not needed to, so i did what everyone( at least what i think everyone) would have done and tried to remove grub and reinstall lilo as the default boot manager and upon rebooting found myself staring at a non-bootable system stuck at a grub prompt.
Guess ill be learning grub today after all, i mumbled.

Read On... | SCO case laid bare for all to see
14 May 2004
Darl McBride has pretty much made more enemies in a short time than Bush has in Iraq. While there is nothing funny about Iraq there is quite a bit of humor to be found in the SCO case, particularly if you happen to read the Register out of the UK. They have a series they do called the BOFH which has done a little the world a great favor and putting the SCO case into terms the average joe could understand. The first bit that Simon Travaglia's recent BOFH: Protecting bodily waste in the public domain did on it was great at bringing the true meaning of the case to the general public as you can read here.
