Over the past couple of weeks I have been moving the mailserver project closer to being ready for actual use and another milestone has been passed. I have now reached the stage where my hotmail and gmail accounts are collected onto the server and made availiable via IMAP.
This has not been without problems, I experinced [...]

It has been a long time since I last updated the kernels on my linux machines. I had managed to keep the software up to date but the kernel upgrades are always a little more involved. Today is the day that they were all updated, all the software updated and rebuilt. Optimising the kernels is [...]

I have at long last done a little more work on the mailserver project. The latest thing to report is the addition of dspam to filter out spam. In addition to this clamAV is also integrated.
The next step will be to do some more testing and then plug in another application which should make [...]

Recently when applying the updates to my Gentoo Linux machines a new version of Xorg-Server was presented. Normally package updates are straight forward, this one on the other hand needed a big change in drivers and config files. My main issue with the upgrade is the poor upgrade documentation, there is a lack of detail [...]

In my efforts to add spam and virus filtering to my mailserver project I needed to have a hardcopy of a man page. Whilst it is possible to forward the output to a file “man [command] > outputfile” or directly to the printer “man [command] | lpr” neither option is perfect. Directing the output [...]

After spending much time and effort on the mailserver project I think I have finally created a secure and working basic setup. It’s currently a little to late to do extensive testing but the brief tests carried out so far look good. A laptop with a self signed ssl certificate can securely connect to the [...]

I was hoping to begin this month with news that my mailserver project was reaching the milestone objective of being secure and working, alas it is not to be. The good news is that over the past month I have made significant progress and am in the final stages of securing and testing.
I have [...]

In the past few weeks I purchased some new Anti-virus and Firewall software from ESET to replace my expiring & bloated AVG install. The first machine to get the upgrade was my XP desktop machine; everything went well. I was impressed with the lighter feel to the software and the added fact that it didn’t [...]

It appears that all of a sudden there has been a failure of the Тюмень ландшафтgentoo-wiki.com site. Maybe not a failure as such but events being such that it nolonger exists. It means that a huge ammount of Gentoo and Linux information has been lost from the web (some may be recoverable from Google cache).
Now [...]

On a Windows machine with Firefox and Azureus installed magnet links in web pages are already associated with Azureus. In Linux (at least in my experience with Gentoo) this association is missing by default.
The following steps will enable the desired functionality.
In Firefox
Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
Right-click -> New -> Boolean -> [...]
