  3. The ultimate password manager tool on Memory Tools for Password Management? · · Score: 1

    Well, I have tried anything (from PINs to Password Gorilla).

    The winner is KeePass 1.x

    - it's secure - AES and Twofish
    - fast
    - easy to use
    - cross platform
    - good import/export routines

    I use the same database under my windows box (KeePass), under my various Linux boxes (KeePassX) and also my Mac laptop with OS X (actually, under ubuntu/ppc you can also download keepassx from the official repository!)

    It's also possible to use the same database on PalmOS anc PocketPC.

    I suppose that you can be right, but today is a month that I'm in Australia and my laptop+hub solution work pretty well with all my devices listed before. :)

  5. My 12'' laptop with charger and all devices USB on Traveling with Too Many Chargers? · · Score: 1

    For any trip, I take with me my 12'' laptop with a small USB hub. My first mobile phone (also mp3 player+radio+decent camera) is a Sony Ericsson w800i, with USB charge support. My second mobile phone is an HP Ipaq 6300 series (also PDA with windows mobile 2003 and GPS with an external bluetooth receiver), with USB charge support. Also the GPS receiver have the USB charge support.
    So, with one powered device (my laptop), I can charge all my others devices :)

  9. Re:AWStats on Best website statistics package? · · Score: 2, Informative
    One caveat - the current version (6.5) has a command-injection vulnerability when run in cgi mode (as opposed to statically-created pages), so watch where & how you install it.


    Right: simply put awstats behind an .htaccess (http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess3.shtm l) and you are pretty safe. I use awstats also under windows+iis (it's needed only activeperl to run under win32) and it's rock.

  13. Re:What about dynebolic? on Mediainlinux: Path Forward? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    http://www.dynebolic.org.nyud.net:8090/

    From the website: "dyne:bolic is shaped on the needs of media activists, artists and creatives as a practical tool for multimedia production: you can manipulate and broadcast both sound and video with tools to record, edit, encode and stream, having automatically recognized most device and peripherals: audio, video, TV, network cards, firewire, usb and more; all using only free software!"

    It's a distro based on debian too (if i remember correctly) and one of the core developers is Jaromil.

    This is a nice job for a microbe, but I don't have see any information about the working temperature that this microbe needs to make the chemical process... Maybe this could be another problem... The volcanic habitat it's very hot (and hard to emulate)...

  15. Re:As a gaming platform? on Cedega 5.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Nice question.
    Some time ago, I have played some weeks with Call of Duty (network gameplay) with my old laptop (p4 1.6 ghz and geforce2 go 16mb).
    The dual boot configuration (WinXP pro an mandrake 9.2/10.0) has allowed me to test the game with the same settings and hardware.
    Surprisingly the game run better under cedega, 10%-15% more FPS than windows.

    You can get the 10.1 also if you have the cooker urpmi repository, with a simple urpmi --auto-select.

  19. Experiment on Best Training in Linux Administration? · · Score: 1

    Try to replace a typical Windows Server of your Company.

    You can learn more with simple tasks: implement a little samba configuration, a
    simple apache+php site with some users auth (htaccess), a print server, etc...

    You can "build" your linux skills really fitting your needs, try to look at
    The Linux Documentation Project...

    The distro is not really important. Form the Windows world I can suggest a modern distro, based on
    RPM or DEB (like RedHat, Mandrake, Debian...).

    If you work for Company (so Oracle DB, Qlogic Hardware, etc...), probably you can choose RedHat (or Tao Linux http://taolinux.org/...)
