With VMware Server you can create and run guest operating systems ("virtual machines") such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating system. This has the benefit that you can run multiple operating systems on the same hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move virtual machines from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system that has the VMware Player which is also free).</p> <a href="http://howtoforge.com/installing-vmware-server-on-ubuntu-8.04" title="Read the rest of this posting." class="read-more">Read more...</a> Ubuntu Desktop Virtualization Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:55:26 +0200 http://howtoforge.com/installing-vmware-server-on-ubuntu-8.04 http://howtoforge.com/installing-vmware-server-on-ubuntu-8.04#comment http://howtoforge.com/zimbra-integration-with-samba-on-ubuntu <p><b>Zimbra Integration With Samba -&nbsp;Ubuntu Based (Similar To AD And Exchange)</b></p> <p>This tutorial shows&nbsp;how to configure Zimbra Collaboration Server (ZCS) and Samba to act as a primary domain controller (PDC) that uses LDAP as a centralized database for authenticating users on Linux and Windows desktops.</p> <a href="http://howtoforge.com/zimbra-integration-with-samba-on-ubuntu" title="Read the rest of this posting." class="read-more">Read more...</a> Ubuntu Email Samba Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:01:51 +0200 http://howtoforge.com/zimbra-integration-with-samba-on-ubuntu http://howtoforge.com/zimbra-integration-with-samba-on-ubuntu#comment http://howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-linux-mint-5-elyssa-r1 <p><b>The Perfect Desktop - Linux Mint 5 Elyssa R1</b></p> <p>This tutorial shows how you can set up a Linux Mint 5 Elyssa R1 desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops.

Linux Mint 5 is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu 8.04 that has lots of packages in its repositories (like multimedia codecs, Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader, Skype, Google Earth, etc.) that are relatively hard to install on other distributions; it therefore provides a user-friendly desktop experience even for Linux newbies.</p> <a href="http://howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-linux-mint-5-elyssa-r1" title="Read the rest of this posting." class="read-more">Read more...</a> Ubuntu Desktop Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:16:01 +0200 http://howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-linux-mint-5-elyssa-r1 http://howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-linux-mint-5-elyssa-r1#comment http://howtoforge.com/unlock-a-luks-encrypted-root-partition-via-ssh-on-ubuntu <p><b>HOWTO: Unlock A LUKS Encrypted Root Partition Via SSH On Ubuntu</b></p> <p>Fully encrypted systems prevent others from getting your data from physical access. The rationale behind the encryption of a complete system is that you don't have worry about what you encrypt and what not, because everything (except for the /boot) partition will be encrypted. However the problem I have encountered so far is, how could I reboot my computer from afar? I would be required to be in front of the computer and enter the password.
