If I have an Ubuntu server

Ya You could also use IPCOP or pfsense firewalls for this. You could setup squid as a transparent proxy, so there wouldn't need to be any proxy configuration that needed to be done on any of your computers. A side benefit here is that it will work as a web cache and speed up web surfing...

Guide for installing a Full Debian install on a $33 PogoPlug

Ok no problem. You will find out your IP address by going here: http://www.whatismyip.com/ Now, how I do my domain name redirection is through the free afraid dns service: http://freedns.afraid.org/ If you don't have a domain name, no problem. Just sign up for one of their dynamic...

Guide for installing a Full Debian install on a $33 PogoPlug

Sure. I can access them via SSH along with run any commands. You will need to open whatever port you are using for ssh into your pogo from outside of your home firewall. The default is 22. Then you can run commands, or if you would like a nice GUI interface, download and install the free...

Linus Torvald's first usenet announcement about Linux 20 years ago today

I dabbled previously with various GUI driven Linux flavors, but it wasn't until Ubuntu about 4 years ago that I began to run a box and stick with it. I ran it side by side with my XP box at work and synergy to share the keyboard and mouse. About a year after I started this at work, my home...

Guide for installing a Full Debian install on a $33 PogoPlug

Took a look at Optware. I think this sounds interesting with the exception of the the fact that this method makes extensive modifications to the core OS as you make it work and install packages. The Debian installation method I went through just changes the boot priority of the device, and...

Keep in mind that this model you linked may, or may not work with the guide I posted. You will want to do some research first to be sure that it will boot Debian off of a flash drive.

Linux server script?

Isn't the windows backup just looking for a file of the same name from a previous job? If so, you could just have a scheduled rename command that runs in a scheduled cron. I don't know what the backup job file output looks like, but if it is job30.bkf, just rename it. run man mv to get the...

Guide for installing a Full Debian install on a $33 PogoPlug

Ok I got LAMP going on the Pogo and have a joomla sample site working on it if anyone wants to see it in action. I figured Joomla would be a good test for the box. I do not have Joomla's built in caching enabled for the site, so it is doing the database querys and building the page for each...

WHS 2011 $50 @ SuperBiiz

Also, one feature worth considering for the new WHS 2011 is the ability to backup your server in the same manner that the workstations are backed up. -Makes an image and can be restored easily with nothing but a blank server destination hard drive and a bootable CD that then connects to your...

Guide for installing a Full Debian install on a $33 PogoPlug

Still had the web page up and they have a different adapter available for this thing to take it off of the wall. See the last photo on the page: http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-guruplugdetails.aspx It snaps in and uses a power cable like the pogo's, but still would be a bit awkward I...

Guide for installing a Full Debian install on a $33 PogoPlug

I think the main thing you may find with the stock pogo is that you can't create multiple users that can all share their own files. You can manage Samba from Webmin once you install it, so you will have a nice GUI for configuring your file shares, etc..

Yes I did see those pinouts when I took mine apart. I didn't think much of them. I guess I was looking for a nice SATA cable connector.

Guide for installing a Full Debian install on a $33 PogoPlug

No, unless he redid them. There was some package authentication issues that I experienced following those squeeze instructions. I did some looking on the forum and the solution was a different script, or install Lenny first. I decided to go the Lenny and then upgrade route to get around this...

Guide for installing a Full Debian install on a $33 PogoPlug

This one looks interesting for an IPCop or Pfsense router installation. A bit pricey for $129, but cheaper than my old FitPC computer that I bought to use for IPCop for $300 a few years ago. http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-32-guruplug-server-plus.aspx
