I recently landed in the same situation (except mine came with a full HP cabinet!).

Now people hate me a little less for being a Gentoo user, because I can
update my system in 2 hours instead of 3 days. >_>
Thanks to the magic of distcc

Another fun thing to do is use the build farm as a transcode cluster (for making DivX).
I just fire it up whenever I need it.

Applied Security Visualization 45

rsiles writes "When security professionals are dealing with huge amounts of information (and who isn't nowadays?), correlation and filtering is not the easiest path (and sometimes enough) to discern what is going on. The in-depth analysis of security data and logs is a time-consuming exercise, and security visualization (SecViz) extensively helps to focus on the relevant data and reduces the amount of work required to reach to the same conclusions. It is mandatory to add the tools and techniques associated to SecViz to your arsenal, as they are basically taking advantage of the capabilities we have as humans to visualize (and at the same time analyze) data. A clear example is the insider threat and related incidents, where tons of data sources are available. The best sentence (unfortunately it is not an image ;) that describes SecViz comes from the author: 'A picture is worth a thousand log entries.'" Read on for the rest of rsiles's review.
