The Turnkey Linux I was made known by the Xpete Alphamatrix. It is an open source project (open source) that provides virtual appliances in which each is optimized for its specific purpose.

It's a good way to test certain tools or even put into production service in a short time. They can download files in VMWare or ISO.


Here are some of the available:

Domain Controller Appliance - Drop-in replacement PDC

Zimbra Appliance - Email and Collaboration Suite

Ejabberd Appliance - XMPP and Web Chat

File Server Appliance - Simple Network Attached Storage

MySQL Appliance - Relational Database Management System

PostgreSQL Appliance - Object-relational Database System

Drupal 6 Appliance - Content Management Framework

Redmine Appliance - Integrated SCM & Project Management

ProjectPier Appliance - Easy Online Collaboration

If you have a file server to Linux, certainly have needed to find files of a particular user, or its UID or GID, or even by your username. Here is this article, some examples of how futilizar the find command for this and other effects more basic.


Find files by user identifier (UID)?
find. /-uid 502

For user name:
find. / user-joselito

For identifier then the group (GID):
find. /-gid 1000

Locate all files with extension. Doc:
find. /-iname "*. doc"
find. /-name "*. doc"

Find files that have changed in the last 24 hours:
find. /-name "*. doc"-mtime 0

Find files that have changed to 48:
find. /-name "*. doc"-mtime 1

Locate all files with permissions 777:
find. /-perm / 777

Find files that have changed to exactly 5 days:
find. /-mtime -7

Find files that have changed less than 5 days:
find. /-mtime 5

Find files that have changed to more than 5 days:
find. /-mtime +5


Note: The difference between the parameter name and iname is that the latter is case sensitive - distinguishes the case matching. The parameter. / Indicates that the search is performed from the directory where you are.

Possibly ever needed to edit a PDF as a text document if it were! In Openoffice is an extension that makes this wonder possible - Sun PDF Import Extension.

Installation:
1 - Download the extension sun-pdfimport.oxt.
2 - Run
3 - Reboot Openoffice
4 - Open a PDF file like a text document.

The import can be time consuming, depending on the type and size of PDF, but believe that the result is really amazing. The PDF that I imported kept proper training of the document. In order to keep the original formatting, the Sun PDF Import, insert all the phrases in the text boxes that can be edited after the event.

Note
The Sun PDF Import Extension is independent of the operating system, but either way, the test results presented here were made in the version of OpenOffice 3.2, the operating system 5 64bit Debian.

This article serves to try to resolve some cases where they have problems in setting up wireless networks (RSF), with an Intel PRO / Wireless 3945ABG.
I think that whoever installed Debian in a more manual, ie the installation image Netinst, as was my case, you may have this problem. If you followed the article I published (see here) and have a FSR of this model, which surely must have had this problem.

Resolution:
Add the following repository to / etc / apt / sources.list, if you have not already:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian lenny main non-free

apt-get update
apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi

Restart the PC, and now you should see the card when RSF running ifconfig.
From here you just add the network through NetworkManager GUI application.

Some useful commands:
iwconfig - shows the interfaces of the active RSF.
ifconfig - Shows the configuration of network interfaces.
ifconfig wlan0 - Shows the interface configuration RSF wlan0.
ifconfig eth0 down - Disables the network interface eth0 wired
