this TechBuilder Recipe, I showed you how to create a secure, basic e-mail
server for your SMB customers by using open source software, specifically
FreeBSD, Postfix, and Dovecot. Now in Part 2, you'll learn how to extend the
functionality of that basic system by adding virus protection, spam detection,

Newbie: NetBSD-based live CD.
Saturday, February 04, 2006 @ 03:58:47 AST by meshal (1508 reads) |
This acronym NeWBIE is pronounced just like the
word "newbie" and stands for (Ne)tBSD (W)are (B)urned (I)n (E)conomy. Newbie is
a NetBSD live CD (Fluxbox GUI) similar in spirit to the well-known FreeSBIE live
CD. Newbie currently caters to the casual desktop-user but will also serve as a
core for creating a NetBSD version of Arudius (see below) - a network security
auditing tool. Why based on NetBSD?

A Linux User's perspective in installing FreeBSD 6.0
Wednesday, November 23, 2005 @ 17:58:59 AST by meshal (1029 reads) |
I have been a
Linux user way back from the first time I was
introduced to an alternate OS than windows. Even
though I was aware of other Unices like FreeBSD and
Solaris, I hadn't come around to installing them on
my machine. Two days back, things changed when I
downloaded the latest
FreeBSD version
6.0 from their official website.

Friday, November 04, 2005 @ 21:05:30 AST by meshal (935 reads) |
It is my great pleasure and privilege to announce the
availability of FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE. This release is the next
step in delivering the high performance and enterprise features
that have been under development in the FreeBSD 5.x series for
that last several years. Some of the many changes since 5.4
include:
- Significant performance improvements to the filesystem
and direct disk access layers of the OS. The filesystem is
now multithreaded and can take full advantage of multiple
CPU systems.
- Expanded support for wireless networking adapters and
new support for the WPA wireless security protocol.
- Experimental support for the PowerPC platform.

Tuesday, November 16, 2004 @ 06:15:40 AST by meshal (1011 reads) | onlamp.com:
Over the past year, I've had the opportunity to teach introductory Linux and BSD classes. Since BSD users primarily attended the Linux classes and the Linux users primarily attended the BSD classes, both groups had an interest in finding out more about their open source counterparts.
