The essence of the FreeNAS server is to provide storage that is easily accessible from the network. To this end, it is important to understand how FreeNAS handles hard disks and how they can be configured and used to provide the best and most reliable storage for your network.

Go one and read the excerpt Configuring storage in FreeNAS

Until recently FreeBSD lacked an easy-to-use desktop version. In 2005 the PC-BSD project was started to provide just that. This month PC-BSD version 7 was released. I downloaded and installed it to see how it squares up to user-friendly Linux distributions like Ubuntu.

I had high expectations of PC-BSD, as much is said of FreeBSD's stability and security, and having used FreeNAS, which is based on FreeBSD, I knew that FreeBSD has lots to offer... Follow the link below to see what I found out.

To coincide with the release of my "Learning FreeNAS" book I have started a new website LearnFreeNAS.com.

It is a one stop site for tips, articles, tutorials and videos about FreeNAS the Open Source Network Attached Storage OS.

Thanks,

In the article I review the mini-distros DSL and PuppyLinux and also the full desktop distributions PendriveLinux, Ubuntu and Mandriva Flash.

I also posted a comment/update with a quick look at Fedora 9 USB Live.

• Dirstop.com - An web directory powered by the open source application "php Link Directory"
  
• www.glowdir.com - This is similar to Dirstop.com and is also running on "php Link Directory"
  
• Bonkersnews.com is a weird and odd news site. Although it is a custom script, it is written in the open source language of PHP.
  

Finally, I have also started another blog called "Review My Site".

All modern operating systems are able to run many programs at the same time. For example, a typical Linux server might include a Web server, an email server, and probably a database service. Each of these programs runs as a separate process. What do you do if one of your services stops working? Here are some handy command-line tools for managing processes.

Thanks,

THP

Well it turned out that like SuSE (see Receiving remote X connections) remote connections are disabled by default.

So for OS X to enable remote X connections you need to configure the display server to accept incoming network connections. The nolisten_tcp setting controls this. It must be set to false in order to accept connections.


To do this you use the Mac OS X user defaults system. Use defaults write to change a setting. Type the following in a terminal:

defaults write com.apple.x11 nolisten_tcp -boolean false

Remember, false enables incoming connections, true disables connections. Use the boolean values instead of their numeric counterparts.

Thanks,
