If you've followed my recent text editor series you will have noticed I included a text editor that is also a collaborative tool (see my article "Kobby: KDE collaborative text editor"). In […]
My series of articles covering text editors wouldn't be complete without a collaborative tool. I have already covered (some time ago) Gobby (see my article "Collaborate in real time with Gobby") and […]
In my most recent series of articles I have been highlighting different Linux text editors. Why? Because a lot of users hate using text based editors. Although a big fan of the […]
In my last article I introduced you to Gedit (see "Gedit: No more text-based editor for you!") and, as promised, this time around we will examine the KDE equivalent...Kate. Kate is an […]
If you have been reading Ghacks long enough you know I am partial to the Nano text based editor. For many users that editor (or one like it) is all they need. […]
I will preface this by saying, I always suggest a clean installation. But for those of you who'd prefer to at least first attempt an upgrade, the technology is already in place […]
Evolution is the groupware suite for the Linux operating system. It is, for all intents and purposes, Outlook for Linux. The only downfall is, out of the box, it doesn't play well […]
Quite some time ago I did an article titled "Konqueror tips and tricks". Well, it's been some time now and I thought it was time I revisited this topic. Like KDE 4, […]
Lately I have been going on and on about the Ubuntu Music Store. So much so, it would seem I have forgotten the other music store that is friends to Linux. Not […]
If you have been reading Ghacks within the last month, you know that I have become a big fan of what will eventually become GNOME 3. That replacement is currently under the […]
I had recently been on a roll with the Ubuntu One Music Store. In that series I spoke a lot of Rhythbox, because that was the "default" player supporting Ubuntu One Music […]
For many Linux users, The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Project) seems to mostly be a tool of mystery and confusion. The biggest reason for this is lack of exposure. Most users that […]
I had been hoping to accomplish this for some time now. At work we work under a Windows domain and I have a Ubuntu test machine that I have been hoping to […]
Taking a cue from Martin's helpful article (see "How do I find my IP Address") I thought it would be a good idea to offer the same information for the Linux operating […]
It's about that time. Ubuntu 10.4 is coming out and I am finally going to migrate my primary desktop away from Elive to Ubuntu. In this process it will be necessary to […]
Have you ever been asked to do any Linux desktop remote support only to find out the client didn't have secure shell (so no tunneling of X) nor did they have a […]
I'm on a roll with Ubuntu One Music Store and I thought I would finish it by showing you how to burn those purchases songs/albums onto CD. Of course, if you haven't […]
Yesterday I wrote about the Ubuntu One Music Store (see my article "Ubuntu One Music Store has arrived"). This little feature is starting to drum up a lot of excitement throughout the […]
This morning I woke up to write an article for Ghacks. I was searching around for inspiration while I was updating my Ubuntu 10.4 beta install. Near the end of the update […]
There are a lot of backup tools out there. From the overly simple to the overly complex. Many of those backup tools go unnoticed and unused. Some of them get recognized as […]
We are plowing forward with the eGroupware installation. We have already been introduced to eGroupware (see my article "eGroupware: Your Exchange replacement has arrived"), we have also seen how to take care […]
My past post instructed you (minus the "j" - thank you Simon) how to begin the process of installing eGoupware. That article was primarily about getting the requirements out of the way […]
Quite some time ago I wrote an article that illustrated how eGroupware could serve as a legitimate Exchange replacement (see my article "eGroupware: Your Exchange replacement has arrived"). I very briefly skimmed […]
So recently I discussed GNOME shell which gave a sneak peak at what GNOME 3 was going to look like (see my article "A sneak peek at GNOME 3"). Although there are […]
I am always looking for an outstanding backup solution. Up until this point I have relied on good old tar/gzip for file/folder backup and Clonezilla for disk cloning. But recently I stumbled […]
Spell check is a "feature" we all take for granted. No matter where we are typing - in a document, on a blog, in an email...we all know our spell check will […]
If you're like me, you do a lot of uploading to pastebin services. Although the task isn't terribly difficult, sometimes you're in a hurry and you just wish there was a much […]
Recently I did what every good technical writer does - spent a lot of time getting something working that has yet to be released in order to test it out and write […]
Here we are again, back witho ur old friend Nagios. If you've been following you know I have covered quite a bit of ground with this outstanding network monitoring tool (check all […]

Remember Amiga? Well, if you're old enough to remember that platform, then you might remember the Pagestream desktop publishing system. Pagestream began in 1986 as Publishing Partner for the Atari Computers. By […]
I thought I would start off the month with a collection of "power user" tips I have collected over the years. Some of these are real gems, some of them are just […]
If you've ever tried your hand at The GIMP, you know that, at first, The GIMP can be a bit challenging to learn. That is coming from an adult. Imagine a younger […]
Recently I showed you how to get the open source osTicket up and running (see my article "Install osTicket for a free - open source - help desk tool"). That article only […]
The consulting firm I work for has tasked me with finding a good help desk system for us to use. I have spent quite a bit of time trying to find a […]

My last article described how to "Quickly install Nagios on Ubunut". That article had you up and running with the powerful open source network monitoring tool, but not much more. If you […]
Nagios is not just a tool, it's one of the best open source network monitors available. Nagios has a simple plug-in design that allows administrators to easily create their own checks and […]
