My life with Ben, episode 2
I’ve had a serial terminal connected to my Linux box for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, my old Wyse 25 is slowly giving up. Then I got my Ben Nanonote. The Ben features an Ethernet-over-USB gadget, which I could use to connect it to my OpenSuSE machine. So, my Ben Nanonote became a console. If my Wyse 25 finally goes to that big computer center in the sky, the only thing I have to do is to order another Ben Nanonote and hook it up.

How To Set Up MySQL Database Replication With SSL Encryption On
Debian Lenny
This tutorial describes how to set up database replication in MySQL
using an SSL connection for encryption (to make it impossible for
hackers to sniff out passwords and data transferred between the master
and slave). MySQL replication allows you to have an exact copy of a
database from a master server on another server (slave), and all updates
to the database on the master server are immediately replicated to the
database on the slave server so that both databases are in sync. This is
not a backup policy because an accidentally issued DELETE command will
also be carried out on the slave; but replication can help protect
against hardware failures though.
Imagemagick – Edit image from command line
Usually when we talk about programs for editing images we think to graphic programs such as The Gimp or photoshop, but they are not the only alternative. ImageMagick is a suite of programs that you can use from command line to change and transform images, may seem more uncomfortable but it is actually a very powerful option to process many images in a short time or include image processing programs in web or bash scripts.
