In most cases Sendmail is the default MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) for many systems (like with CentOS), it can however be hard to configure or maintain (although it has improved over the last years).
I myself prefer to use postfix for various reasons.
Postfix describes itself as “Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and [...]

I’m sure most of you are familier with CVS and Subversion (a compelling replacement for CVS), the latter being a version control system I’ve had some great experiences with. Both CVS and Subversion are Centralised SCM’s (Source Control Management), today I encountered Mercurial which is a Distributed SCM.
To get our terms straight, let me just [...]

I’m pretty sure all the other WordPress bloggers out there noticed the shiny bar in their WordPress admin panels, announcing the release of Wordpress 2.3.2, about 18 days ago.
If there is one thing I hate at the moment, it’s having to upgrade my blog while I’ve done custom modifications and copy all those files by [...]

I’m sure you’ve heard about it, KDE 4.0 has been released!
I can honestly say it looks damn sweet! Unfortunately I quickly learned that KDE 4.0 wouldn’t make it into Fedora 8, it will be made available in Fedora 9 which is scheduled for an April 2008 launch.
If you’re adventurous like me and don’t like to [...]

As I promised yesterday, the RPM’s (i386) for PHP4 can now be downloaded for your convienence.
You can find the SRPM along with the RPM’s. The SRPM was slightly updated since yesterday to fix a small glitch I encountered when trying to build a eAccelerator RPM for CentOS 5.
NOTE: None of the RPM’s are signed at [...]

Although I was initially struggeling, I finally managed to build a PHP4 RPM for CentOS 5
Initially I planned to make tutorial on how I managed to build my RPM (which you can still use), however due to some issues with the original PHP 4.3.9 RPM for CentOS 4 I decided to create a [...]

As of CentOS 5 you’ll get PHP 5 rpm binaries, if for some reason your old applications aren’t PHP5 compliant yet, this might cause you some difficulties.
Even though PHP4 has it’s EOL as of 31-12-2007, the needed security updates will be done until 2008-08-08. This in my opinion could be a reason to at least [...]

During the holiday season I’m staying with the mom of my girlfriend. As always when visiting family and friends, I check their computers on viruses, Trojans and so on.
Recently I gained some nice and positive experiences with Kaspersky Antivirus, so I decided to remove Norton Antivirus from the PC and install Kaspersky. This being an [...]

At the office we use Pound as a reverse proxy for Microsoft Exchange 2007 (and previously Microsoft Exchange 2003). This has been working fine with Exchange 2003, but with Exchange 2007 we were having some challenges.
Basicly when you would use Internet Explorer to log into OWA, you would most likely get a 500 Internal server [...]

So, you’ve got Fedora Core 8 installed, it all looks pretty sweet and you start browsing the internet. You quickly notice that there are quite a few things that don’t work out of the box, like for instance Flash or Java. A shame you think, let’s play some MP3’s then. You click an MP3 and [...]

As i said last week, Red Hat has released Fedora Core 8. I was pretty anxious to get it and install it on my own desktop, even though I had it downloaded pretty rapidly it took me a few days before I installed it.
I wanted to do a complete re-installation, this in general is really [...]

It’s that time of the year again, a new version of Fedora Core has been released :). I’m dedicating my 20Mbit line now, to get that baby so I can install it later on. While I’m waiting on that, I might as well share some of my first glance thoughts.
I must say that it looks [...]
