Howtoforge posted a guide about enabling Compiz Fusion on A Fedora 13 GNOME Desktop

This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz Fusion on a Fedora 13 GNOME desktop (the system must have a 3D-capable graphics card - I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 8100 here). With Compiz Fusion you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop. I will use the free nouveau driver in this tutorial instead of the proprietary NVIDIA driver. nouveau is an accelerated Open Source driver for NVIDIA cards that comes with experimental 3D support on Fedora 13 - on my test system 3D support was working without any problems.

The second alpha release of Ubuntu 10.10 has been released


Welcome to Maverick Meerkat Alpha 2, which will in time become Ubuntu 10.10.

Pre-releases of Maverick are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.

Alpha 2 is the second in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Maverick development cycle. The Alpha images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper CD build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of Maverick. You can download it here:

Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) Alpha-2 (Ubuntu Desktop and Netbook)
Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) Daily Build (Ubuntu Server for UEC and EC2)
Kubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) Alpha-2 (Kubuntu Desktop and Netbook)
Xubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) Alpha-2 (Xubuntu)
Ubuntu-Studio 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) Alpha-2 (Ubuntu Studio)
Mythbuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) Alpha-2 (Mythbuntu)

See Mirrors for a list of mirrors.

Alpha 2 includes a number of software updates that are ready for wider testing. Please refer to Maverick Meerkat Alpha 2 | Ubuntu for information on changes in Ubuntu.

This is quite an early set of images, so you should expect some bugs. For a list of known bugs (that you don't need to report if you encounter), please see:

Maverick Meerkat Alpha 2 | Ubuntu

If you're interested in following the changes as we further develop Maverick, have a look at the maverick-changes mailing list:

Changes

We also suggest that you subscribe to the ubuntu-devel-announce list if you're interested in following Ubuntu development. This is a low-traffic list (a few posts a week) carrying announcements of approved specifications, policy changes, alpha releases, and other interesting events.

Bug reports should go to the Ubuntu bug tracker:

Reporting Bugs - HowTo - Community Ubuntu Documentation

Enjoy,

Howtoforge posted a guide about installing Linux without burning an ISO to CD/DVD

I am describing here a method to install Linux without using a DVD ROM or CD Drive; I have checked it myself.
There are many ways to do so you can install Linux by
1) booting from the network;
2) having an ISO image on your hard disk;
3) booting from USB;
4) installing a linux system from scratch by building your own.

Howtoforge posted a tutorial about monitoring Apache and MySQL with Bijk on Debian Lenny

This tutorial describes how you can monitor your server with the tool Bijk. Bijk creates online 30 graphs about load, CPU, memory, traffic, Apache, NginX, PostreSQL and others with alerts. Bijk can be used on Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, RedHat and Gentoo. In this article I will explain how to install Bijk on Debian.
