  • CentOS: just for the happy few?

    When you look at the list of Linux distrib-utions featured at Distro-watch.com, you will be amazed to discover there are over 500 Linux distributions to choose from. Of course many of them are intended for a small and select group of users. And another selection of distributions are used by many, many users and these end up in the top 5.

Currently ranked at number 10 of most used Linux distributions, you will find CentOS, a distribution favoured by a growing group of users.

  • DHCP

    Among the various networking protocols in use today, I have come to the opinion that DHCP is in some ways the unsung hero of computer networking protocols. While many non-technical persons have heard of such networking acronyms as TCP/IP, DNS, and HTTP, quite of few have never even heard of DHCP and yet if they use a computer on a network at work or at home, they are using this protocol without even being aware of it.

  • NAGIOS

    If you’ve spent any time around competent network or systems administration folks then you’ve most likely heard all about Nagios. The conversation probably started off as a polite espousal of the features and functionality of that “free network management program” then quickly detoured into a murky list of rumored configuration headaches and tales of ninja like hyper flexibility – Lets set the record straight.

  • Future Linux Desktops

    In the year 2020, today’s GNOME and KDE desktops will be at end-of-life and may look as obsolete as MS-DOS does today. In this brave new future, the desktop will no longer be WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointer). It will look very different. What will our future user interface be?
