I’ve been searching for a PHP editor that works on Linux and provides the functions that were used on Rapid PHP (the editor I used on Ms.). I tried Eclipse, Bluefish, Kate, NetBeans and still a couple, but neither is the editor I need.

Below I describe how to split a larger file into several small files. This is useful when the file you want to copy on a stick is bigger than the stick’s capacity.
The file used is this example is a 75 MB .mkv.
I will use lxsplit for splitting and joining the .mkv file. So, I need to install lxsplit:
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxsplit/files/lxsplit/lxsplit-0.2.4.tar.gz/download

Nagios is a good open source tool for monitoring network components and services. It can be configured to send alerts by e-mail
Given that the new version (3) can be found in repositories, installation is much easier now, using apt-get:
sudo apt-get install nagios3
Checking the installation:
sudo nagios3 -v nagios.cfg
This is how the testing should look like:
Nagios 3.0.6

Samba este un soft open source, care permite sistemelor de operare unix-based sa “se vada” in retea cu PC-urile cu Windows. Samba este de fapt implementarea mai multor protocoale intr-un singur soft capabil sa comunice simultan cu aceste protocoale: SMB, TCP/IP, NetBIOS (protocolul implementat in Network Neighborhood din Windows), WINS si Active Directory (pt asta trebuie setat kerberos).
In primul rand, pentru a seta cu succes Samba, trebuie ca masina pe care ruleaza linux sa aibe IP static. In caz contrar, nu se va putea folosi WINS…
Se instaleaza Samba:
#sudo apt-get install samba

Aici voi descrie instalarea player-ului XMMS pe un sistem care ruleaza Ubuntu 9.04. Aceiasi pasi se urmeaza si pentru instalarea pe versiunile anterioare.

XMMS este un player simplu, nu un organizator de melodii. Seamana foarte bine cu Winamp. Mai multe detalii despre XMMS pot fi gasite pe site-ul oficial.
In primul rand trebuiesc download-ate pachetele de care avem nevoie pentru compilarea lui XMMS. Dupa executarea urmatoarei comenzi, sistemul va fi pregatit pentru instalarea lui XMMS. Pentru a executa comenzile care incep cu “sudo” trebuie sa stii parola de root.
# sudo apt-get install autotools-dev automake1.9 libtool gettext libasound2-dev libaudiofile-dev \libgl1-mesa-dev libglib1.2-dev libgtk1.2-dev libesd0-dev libice-dev libmikmod2-dev libogg-dev \ libsm-dev libvorbis-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxml-dev libssl-dev build-essential make
