Hi, I have write a new Joomla 1.5 tutorial. I plan to make this tutorial as series, so I will help you till your website up and running (offcourse, if you plan it) This 1st series tutorial dicuss about, complete install process of joomla 1.5 with screenshot. Here is the excerpt I take from middle part of tutorial: Second step is to check your web server requirements that meet joomla. If you see the green color words written, that mean you pass for the requirements. Otherwise, red color mean the requirements must be corrected before we go to next step. For example, if your register globals on your php requirement is red (on), open your php.ini configuration file and toggle it to off. Third step is to accept the joomla aggrement and license. If you dont agree, please close your browser and dont install joomla.

sshpass - Non-interactive ssh password authentication

Sun, 04 May 2008 18:13:38 +0200

SSH’s (secure shell) most common authentication mode is called “interactive keyboard password authentication”, so called both because it is typically done via keyboard, and because openssh takes active measures to make sure that the password is, indeed, typed interactively by the keyboard.

Sometimes, however, it is necessary to fool ssh into accepting an interactive password non-interactively. This is where sshpass comes in.

New laptop has arrived, First Impression of Vista

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 19:37:53 +0200

I have received my new laptop, the Gateway MT6729, and I have to say I am impressed. After my Thinkpad R60 with 512 MB RAM and 60 GB HDD, this 2 GB RAM 160 GB HDD unit is like a dream boat. Well, coming into this I expected to want to revert back to XP after starting up Vista. However, after the initial breakin, with the OS attempting to define what I want to do, I have to say MS isn't totally off the mark with Vista. There is quite a bit of eye candy, which I thought might contribute to the slowing of my system overall, but as I have yet to really "wait" on anything, I believe I like the pretty stuff. But, alas, just as I am tempted to fall in love with MS (giggle) here come the "..only 25 more uses of MS word before you 'pay up'" and free 60 day trial of Norton security suite, etc. This is where good ol' open source and Linux distros come in. I'm now trying to decide which distro I want permanently installed. I want a really fast, streamlined OS and I booted up DSL with a live CD. However, I also want a pretty functional OS out of the box and as I had some trouble (as to be expected with any new OS) with my ethernet detection, I think I will move on to a more fully featured distro. I'm always leaning towards an Ubuntu derivation, as that was my first Linux love, but there are so many choices!!!

Just a quick "thank you" from a former Windows user...

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:41:06 +0200

I just wanted to take a minute write down a quick "thank you" to everyone in the Ubuntu world. Not to date myself, but as a person who has been using a PC since my Navy days when I built a Timex Sinclair ZX81, it is fair to say that I have used my share of hardware, and operating systems. Anyway, as my company suspended my MSDN license 3 years ago, I was left without new software to test with, or use. So I started tinkering with Linux but since I absolutely suck at non GUI operating systems, I gave up at first. However, something was drawing me back to it, and I kept experimenting with different flavors, SuSe, Knoppix, Lindows, Red Hat and the versions that run inside of XP like Pen Linux. Their was something that always did not work, and it was usually something important like wireless, or printing, whatever. Lets say I blew up a great deal of installations screwing around. So I was browsing through my TechDirt, and stumbled upon a story about Ubuntu 8.04 Beta. It said "it installs seamlessly inside of Windows", so I figured ok, let me try to break another one. I installed it, and by the grace of God almost everything worked... I could not VPN into my office Cisco VPN which is very important, or the most imortant thing "Listen to my Sirius Satelite Internet stream". I looked around the blogs, and managed to figure out the VPN thing, and after a little more poking I managed to find Sipie for my Sirius... I am one happy camper... And go figure, I had to do it in a terminal, and it did not hurt. In about 20 minutes "viola" everything was working, and I was doing my Friday night changes remotely, and listening to ALTNATION on Sirius. I could not have done this miracle without the help from the community simply because you people care "though most of you would not admit it"... Thanks to everyone for creating, and supporting this magical operating system!
