I have just finished installing CyanogenMod 7.1 Alpha 3 on my HP TouchPad. Its gorgeous. I cant say I ever become a fan of WebOS, unlike some I've talked to it never grew on me and the rare times when I did want to make use of it the App Market was far too over priced and in my experience limited, but now with Android the device 'sings' 
One problem with my ever growing collection of movies and tv is the volume wars between formats. Add in music video downloads from iTunes and Amazon and the variabations become extreme. With a little creative searching I found an addon that can be added to the ALSA sounds system on my Ubuntu installation to this work on-the-fly 
For many years I have been using Webmin as means of quickly administrating the three servers I am responsible for. How ever when I was recently asked to setup a number of BIND9 DNS servers in a Master/Slave configuration I set about doing this manually as none of the servers in question had any form of web interface. This is how I setup three DNS servers to work in unison, one master and two slaves. 
I was recently ask by a new Linux convert now they should go about acquiring an Anti-Virus application and whether I would recommend McAfee of Norton. Without going into my own opinions about which might be better or worse I aim to clear up some of the confusion surrounding Linux Anti-Virus applications and what they are actually intended for.I was recently ask by a new Linux convert now they should go about acquiring an Anti-Virus application and whether I would recommend McAfee of Norton. 
Many users out there will be using KDE or Gnome for their day-to-day Linux usage, so want have any problems shutting down their PC. How-ever I recently set-up and terminal-only machine as a kinda adhoc NAS device and found there is no easy way of to shutdown or restart the computer with out using the sudo command and entering your password to become root. So this is how I got around the problem, by removing the need for the sudo password. 
Having lived in a Windows environment for the past couple of years I've gotten somewhat used to my routines and short cuts, most of which are missing or changed now that I'm 95% Ubuntu. The most notable absentee are all the extra buttons on my Logitech MX Revolution mouse, which I have mapped to a vast array or custom key stroked. So, lest I forget, this is how I have got these custom buttons working correctly.
