Goodbye Fedora, welcome back Debian, Part 1
I really did like Fedora 13. I liked it enough to solve more than a handful of problems. I liked it enough to use a proprietary graphics driver for the first time (didn’t like that; not only was it outside the package-management system and hard to update, it didn’t perform so well either). I love the Fedora community, the openness that’s everywhere, the lack of pretense. But just as everything was roses, furry kittens and such when I first ran Fedora 13 with the 2.6.33 Linux kernel, it started to go dark with the change — in mid-cycle, mind you — to the 2.6.34 kernel.

Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And
SquirrelMail (Fedora 14 x86_64)
This document describes how to install a Postfix mail server that is
based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in a
MySQL database. I’ll also demonstrate the installation and
configuration of Courier (Courier-POP3, Courier-IMAP), so that Courier
can authenticate against the same MySQL database Postfix uses. The resulting Postfix server is capable of SMTP-AUTH
and TLS and quota (quota is not built
into Postfix by default, I’ll show how to patch your Postfix
appropriately). Passwords are stored in encrypted form
in the database (most documents I found were dealing with plain text
passwords which is a security risk). In addition to that, this tutorial
covers the installation of Amavisd, SpamAssassin
and ClamAV so that emails will be scanned for spam and
viruses. I will also show how to install SquirrelMail
as a webmail interface so that users can read and send emails and change
their passwords.
Fedora 14 Updates
Today, I opened up a terminal, issued the su command, and typed in my root password on my Fedora 14 laptop. I then issued the "yum update" command to install all of the latest Fedora 14 updates. I am running Fedora 14 on a 64-bit Toshiba Satellite L675 laptop.
Fedora Welcomes in New Management
Jared Smith, Fedora Project Leader, has announced some personnel changes within the Fedora project that show, as Smith says, "every person in the Fedora community is a potential leader." According to Smith, Fedora’s "policies of rotating leadership help ensure that everyone who is so inclined has a chance to lead and serve."
Fuduntu Is A Fedora 14 Remix For Netbooks And Laptops
Fuduntu is a Fedora 14 remix (remaster) designed especially for Asus Eee (but you can of course use it on other netbooks and any laptop/desktop computer) and comes with some interesting performance tweaks by default. It was created by Fewt, the Jupiter (an hardware and power management applet for netbooks and Laptops) developer.
Tensions Between Ubuntu, Fedora Mount Over New Website
In an ideal world, free-software developers would happily get along and cooperate towards the same ends. But the world’s far from perfect, as rising tensions between the Ubuntu and Fedora camps have made clear recently in the wake of the founding a new website intended, ironically, to promote “respect” within the open-source ecosystems. Here’s the story.
How To Set Up An Active/Passive PostgreSQL Cluster With Pacemaker, Corosync, And DRBD (CentOS 5.5)

How To Set Up An Active/Passive PostgreSQL Cluster With Pacemaker,
Corosync, And DRBD (CentOS 5.5)
This article explains how to set up (and monitor) an Active/Passive
PostgreSQL Cluster, using Pacemaker with Corosync and DRBD. We use two nodes, one active (that answers requests from apps) and
the other on passive mode.
If the active server is down, the passive one will automatically take
its position (being the active node). We are using the CentOS 5.5 (64bits) distribution, but it will probably
work on Fedora (and Red Hat, for sure) as well.

Setting Up An NFS Server And Client On Fedora 13
This guide explains how to set up an NFS server and an NFS client on
Fedora 13. NFS stands for Network File System; through NFS, a
client can access (read, write) a remote share on an NFS server as if it
was on the local hard disk.
