Because of an introduction to laptop at work, I have to bring my laptop back and forth to work. Because this isn’t my laptop I feel that I cannot run Ubuntu Linux as the main OS – although I wish I could. Instead I have to rely heavily on windows 7 and VirtualBox. As of [...]

My experiences with ISPConfig
April 5th, 2010
No Comments
I’ve installed ISP Config on my virtual server. Mostly for setting up setting up domains that I control. First I installed ISP Config 2, then I found out that the Virtual Server Provider (VSP) had a script for setting up ISP Config 3. So I cleaned the server and set that up in stead. I [...]
A short little blog after moving
April 4th, 2010

Recently I moved from one web host to another since the other had Virtual Server Hosting. It now reminds me when I ran a very small hosting company delivering hosting services. Recent days I’ve have been dealing with a client that has some 2 GB of e-mails that needs to be transfered from his Google [...]

Canonical Ltd. has published screen shots from the upcoming release, 10.04 – The Lucid Lynx. And it looks awesome. I am really looking forward to installing this LTS version as a clean install and not as an upgrade. With LL Canonical proves that Linux as an desktop OS can look pretty and for some that [...]

I’ve been a Linux Ubuntu Desktop user for quite some time now. Ever since I experienced how Linux could save an old laptop. And I must admit. It is nice to not think about viruses and such, not that this is something that worries me when I am using a computer with Windows installed. It [...]

January 20th, 2010

Well, this isn’t really a VS-blog-post, I just had a discovery while reading up on ASP.Net (Professional ASP.Net 2.0) and I see here that PHP has a way to go when it comes to make web development more productive. Yes we have more control on our code and so on, but the .Net Framework and [...]
My thoughts regarding Linux Servers
January 18th, 2010
No Comments
When I write Linux Servers I am mostly thinking of Ubuntu Server. This was my choice when I got my hand on an old Dell GX260 Desktop. It’s not the most powerful machine, and it is highly in need of an upgrade. But it does what I need it for: Being a server so that [...]
Getting network and VirtualBox to work on Ubuntu Server

For some odd reason the network stopped working on my home “server”. The server is an old Dell GX-240 is running as a server on it’s old days. First I thought it was because of some iwconfig settings, but during my work, that was not the case. In stead it was the routing tables that [...]

After my post on Docks on Gnome I was suggested to test out Docky and I have been running it since yesterday. I then went back to Gnome Do / Docky theme. It looks the same and has one feature that is superior to it’s contesters: The Gnome Do. The Gnome Do is where you [...]
Monodevelop vs Visual Studio – or what the monoteam could learn from VS

What a long title… But why not. This week has been exhausting for mr. Huso. It has been some security holes and more. But I have also noticed something that I think the mono developer team should start doing. This past week I was part of a small team that upgraded a website from .Net [...]
