Imbattutomi nell’arduo problema di trovare un modo per configurare un autorisponditore sul server di posta di un cliente che usa account virtuali e non di sistema, ho finalmente risolto l’arcano ricordandomi della mitica funzione “pipe” di Postfix, ecco come fare:

Se avete Postfix configurato su mysql dovrete inanzitutto aggiungere un “transport” nella tabella appropriata del tipo:

Dominio: “autoreply.domain.tld” -> Transport: “autoreply:”

La stessa cosa puo’ essere fatta se usate i file invece del db:

/etc/postfix/transport:
autoreply.domain.tld autoreply:

We here at Make Use Of try to make your switch to Linux as smooth as possible, which includes using simple and common terminology. However there are plenty of terms that are unavoidable or at least impractical to avoid. Some terms we can explain as we go along, but some are so common that they would need explaining in every article.

So here they are, but by no means is it a complete list since such a list would go on and on and bore us all to tears.

Instead I have collected a select few terms a new Linux user is likely to encounter, both on this site and other sources.

After having read about the board a bit and getting courious, at LinuxTag 2008 i could try the real hardware for the first time.
They had a demo running which showed a full Enlightenment desktop and everything seemed quite fast. I would guess the performance is similar to a P3 1GHz. The demo was based on OpenEmbedded, but with a system that is as fast as a few year old desktop system, i would of course prefer to run Debian.

After some time and various patches there's a new version of xscreensaver that fixes a lot of issues with 5.05 and XineRama. Thanks to all that submitted patches: Bas Zoetekouw, Vincent Crevot, Lionel Elie Mamane and Daniel Dickinson for the desktop file.

The deb files are available here along with the dsc, changes, diff.gz and orig.tar.gz files. If you don't use i386 then do:

Here's a quick HOWTO for setting up your own secure pseudo-dynamic DNS (DDNS) server.

It's not a "real" DDNS service, i.e. you won't be able to use standard DNS tools or protocols to talk to the server, but it covers 98% of all functionality I expect from a service such as DynDNS or similar ones: It tells me the IP address of a certain box which doesn't have a static IP address (e.g. my home-server).

Requirements

You'll need:

I've been playing with an EEE PC lately. This 299€ (in Portugal) GNU/Linux ASUS laptop is awsome, and I'm really happy that ASUS did it. They did some mistakes, like using Xandros Server 2.0 as base for their distro, making me think, for instance, that if I had one of these I would replace their Operating System with something like Debian Eee PC, eeexubuntu or even eeedora. I might write about my thoughts on EEE PC later, but for now, a quick HOWTO (because I think this isn't documented nowhere) on installing Second Life on EEE PC.

The Tombuntu blog details how to install and get more from the recently-released Google Gadgets for Linux in Ubuntu or other Debian-based Linux distributions. The non-compilation instructions alone are worth a read, but the post points out a pretty nifty Compiz tweak that adds puts Gadgets on an OS X-like switchable screen. Make sure you've got the compizconfig-settings-manager package installed in Ubuntu, and then:

Here is the full steps to install Google Gadgets on your Ubuntu Linux (tested on Hardy Heron and Intrepid Ibex)

Truecrypt Installer for Debian helps to get
Truecrypt running with a
minimum of effort under Debian-based Linux systems
(Debian and Ubuntu
are officially supported). Truecrypt is Open
Source disk encryption
software which uses a concept of containers to
store encrypted data.
The containers (or volumes) can be read
transparently under Linux and
Windows. The installer creates installable *.deb
packages from the
Truecrypt sources, and those debs can be used in
turn to activate
Truecrypt.

OK, so I've spent my last money on the One Mini A110 subnotebook recently. Yep, yet another ASUS Eee PC clone, but this one has the great benefit of costing only 199.- Euros and has similar specs as the Eee PC 2G Surf (700), I think.

TorChat is a peer-to-peer instant messenger with a
completely decentralized design, built on top of
Tor's location hidden services, giving you
extremely strong anonymity. It is very easy to
use, and doesn't need to be installed or
configured on Windows systems.

Changes:

Se non ce la fate piu’ ad aspettare i pacchetti ufficiali aggiornati per Firefox 3 RC1, potete aggiornare il vostro browser preferito con il seguente repository:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu hardy main

Aggiungete tale riga al vostro /etc/apt/sources.list e lanciate i seguenti comandi:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

Ovviamente se avete gia’ Firefox3 installato altrimenti:

sudo aptitude install firefox-3.0
