I’m working on setting up a router/firewall which and will document the process to put on this Blog, so stay tuned.

Also I hope to make a beautiful backup solution where rsync would backup different computers on our network twice a week and delete the real old backups after a while. This’ll be kinda difficult to decide whether I’ll have the server pull the data off or the workstations send their data to the server. Probably the latter as then there is less chance of interruption.

I’m also going to be setting up Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon on our LTSP server, hopefully that’ll work even better than it does now, and faster. Should be interesting.

Stay tuned for more guide and tutorials and random stuff soon.

Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 4 has been released. Here’s basically what’s been changed since the last alpha:

  • Tracker running by default
  • Fast user switching
  • Deskbar applet on panel
  • New OpenOffice.org 2.3
  • AppArmor security by default
  • Smooth shutdown splash

I’m downloading it right now to try out, hopefully it’s as good as past Ubuntu alpha releases. Hope they can implement a faster boot process as well as shutdown, combine all the configuration setting in a control panel and get a decent automated restricted drivers setup.
