If Linux where competing in a Horse race, Micro$h1t would kill first the Linux Horse and then proclaim itself the winner before the race even started.

ASCII Printable Characters

Both codes and characters can usually be used when building wikisite pages however some characters are used as tags to denote a specific text format this can be a small problem when building pages and especially when providing a tutorial of some sought.

The solution is to use the codes themselves to generate the printable characters rather than the characters you see on the keyboard. Look in the table below for your chosen character then copy and paste the code that relates to the character you want to display in the wikipage which is causing the trouble. The character code set is not used in the same way by the wikipages on this site so these are immediately converted into the printable characters you see displayed on the keyboard, and displaying these to the screen.

Wiki Site

Wiki Server Update

It may have escaped everyone's attention but this SoSLUG Wiki site is now running on Drupal 6 a significant web site upgrade.

This upgrade was not without it's problems, not least of which was the lack of drupal_wiki profile which still is only available for Drupal 5 and is core to the development of this site. Drupal Modules upgrades also proved problematic especially the views module.

Server Software

Web Server & Software.


Introduction.

So now the server is built and RAID5 configured. http://wiki.soslug.org/wiki/raid_5 I'm slowly beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. All I have to do now, is select the server software and that's it; or is it?

This project has seen its fair share of setbacks; smoke pouring out - frightening; a failed brand new hard drive - frustrating, to name but two! Surely now, all I had to do to complete the project would be completed in an hour or so, with time for a little self congratulation on a job well done.

SoSLUG Mailing List

For some time SoSLUG had a mailing list this was a general mailing platform and still is but our efforts to enable people to subscribe and unsubscribe where prohibited, well we have now sorted out our mail server problems and can give prospective members the opportunity to subscribe and unsubscribe to the list as they so choose.

RAID 5

Introduction.

This page assumes you have either built your server from my previous page, http://wiki.soslug.org/wiki/debian_web_server or have sufficient knowledge to do so. It also concentrates on why I chose RAID 5 and in particular, how RAID 5 is set-up on the Adaptec 2410SA card.

How to build a Debian web server for home use.

.

Introduction.

The purpose of this wiki contribution is to describe how to build and configure a web server, to operate from your home. Later on, I hope to expand it into a file server and possibly a mail server. It will provide detailed building instructions as well as some insights as to why I chose to complete it in the way I did. In order to make the document readable, I will split it into three pages: the physical building of the server, the RAID configuration and loading the appropriate software.

SoSLUG O'Reilly Book Reviews

Today Friday 17th April SoSLUG have received our very first package from O'Reilly User Group Programme, consisting of three brand new books which we can review, only one of which seems to be from the O'Reilly press. Anyway on offer are three books for us to review, we should I think make as much use of this facility as possible.
