IMO debian is the benchmark, especially to build servers from scratch quickly.

Actually, I'd like to see the study that says woman are happier than men, because that flies in the face of my experience. Most of the women I know are either depressed or angry all the time.
You should stop playing angry birds...
I was wondering exactly the same thing... Slashdot forgets that a lot of readers aren't from the US and don't know anything about US-centric brand names...
Thank you for the link and the parent for the reference.
It's the full text and was well worth a read !
You can actually run a proper VPN with ssh and not just tunnel individual ports:

This creates a point-to-point layer 2 or 3 tunnel between 2 hosts. This is great for proxying TCP, UDP, ethernet frames...
The Superhub is SLIGHTLY better, but still nothing on a dedicated router. But can you still plug in your own router? Nope, VM deliberately disabled the DHCP options within the HUB, meaning you have to rely on it (although a patch is coming that will enable "gateway" mode).
I have a SuperHub with VirginMedia and I use my own router: you need to set "DMZ Host" in the "SuperHub" advanced settings to the IP of your own router's WAN port. That means that your router's external IP looks like a private IP (in a different subnet from the LAN obviously) but that's not a problem in practice.
I use the N900 keyboard quite often, sysadmin tasks via ssh are surprisingly easy once you remap a few symbol keys!
Thanks, that looks promising!
PasswordSafe has less functionality than KeePass except that there is a compatible command line client for it (pwsafe).
I often use pwsafe from a remote shell and I would switch to a KeePass database if I could find a CLI for it...
You calibrate the monitor on the host, and use the resulting ICC profile with each application both on the host and guest.

Shocking vulnerability, you could potentially get rooted just reading some dodgy email in mutt under screen!
It was fixed in October 2006 (couldn't find a POC though) but there must be a lot of people with older versions still...
www.stackoverflow.com is a much better free alternative to expertSexchange.com.
They also regularly provide a complete database dump of all the questions and answers (http://blog.stackoverflow.com/category/cc-wiki-dump/) so there is no risk they'll steal the community effort like expertsexchange did...
When we write programs that "learn", it turns out we do and they don't.
