To NTFS or not to NTFS—that is the question. But unlike the deeper questions of life, this one isn’t really all that hard to answer. For most users running Windows XP, NTFS is the obvious choice. It’s more powerful and offers security advantages not found in the other file systems. But let’s go over the [...]

In a word, open source is collaboration. More specifically, it’s public collaboration on a software project. IBM has committed to open source in a big way with contributions to more than 120 projects, including more than $1 billion in Linux® development. According to the Open Source Initiative (OSI), it can be defined this way: “Open [...]

If you use Windows XP on a local area network (LAN), and you save and open files in shared folders as part of a workgroup on a server, you can create a virtual drive whose drive letter appears in the My Computer window along with those of your local drives — a process referred to [...]

When installing a new printer with the Add Printer Wizard, you can choose between adding a local printer (one that’s directly cabled to your computer through one of the ports) or a network printer (a printer that’s connected to your network with an Ethernet connection, just as your computer is connected to the LAN). To [...]

In Windows 2000, Microsoft added the ability to right-click the My Documents folder and choose a new location for that folder in the shell. With Windows XP, Microsoft has elevated the My Music and My Pictures folders to the same “special shell folder” status of My Documents, but they never added a similar (and simple) [...]

To reduce instances of “casual copying” (a nice name for software piracy), Microsoft has implemented a two-stage antipiracy scheme in its upcoming OS. The first stage is the installation and registration counter: this lets you install Windows XP only five times on the same system. (Note that you’ll be able to install the final version [...]

Whether you know it or not, if you’ve ever signed up for a Hotmail account, you have a Passport account, too. And that’s a good thing, because if you want to access Microsoft’s Web support site these days, you must enter a Passport ID and a password. So what gives? What is this thing called [...]

When installing Windows XP from scratch, it prompts you to select from two different file systems: FAT32 and NTFS. As expected, it gives no real reason why you should select one or the other, and defaults to NTFS.

Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) is a technology that allows a computer to use more than one processor. The most common configuration of an SMP computer is one that uses two processors. The two processors are used to complete your computing tasks faster than a single processor. (Two processors aren’t necessarily twice as fast as a single [...]

Running a command from your history Sometimes you know that you ran a command a while ago and you want to run it again. You know a bit of the command, but you don’t exactly know all options, or when you executed the command. Of course, you could just keep pressing the Up Arrow until [...]

SSH SSH is some kind of an abbreviation of Secure SHell. It is a protocol that allows secure connections between computers. In this tutorial, we’ll be dealing with the ssh command on Linux, the OpenSSH version. Most Linux distributions feature the OpenSSH client today, but if you want to be sure, have a look at [...]

This article will show how you can rebuild any debian package. You might need to rebuild a package for various reasons: add/remove some compilation options, make some changes to the sources, or compile a newer version from testing/sid into stable, etc. Regardless of your reason, this can be done very easy using debian tools. First [...]

This short post is a response to the question I received from one reader that wanted to know how to remove completely from his Cpanel server Fantastico. Why would you want to do that? (assuming you have it already installed, it means you have a license also). Well, maybe the datacenter installed it by default [...]

During installation of Windows Server 2008 Core, it is possible to complete setup without specifying the product key. This means that you have up to 30 days from the installation date to test drive the product before it goes into reduced functionality mode, similar to that in Windows Vista. In both Windows Server 2008 and [...]
