Budget Laser Printer Recommendations

For pretty much the first time in my life, I’m finding I really need a printer at home. In past times I’ve been quite happy to sneakily print off everything at university, at work, etc.. Several years ago I rescued a chunky old HP laser printer from the skip at work and that served me well for a few years… and then it died. Now I’m working from home a lot and this is becoming a real hassle, but budget is tight.

Firewall Building

Building a firewall on a Linux system with a 2.6 series kernel involves the Netfilter iptables command. The 2.4 series kernel uses the ipchains command. The configuration of a Linux system’s firewall is often held in a script that is run at system boot. Crafting complex firewall script can take a long time, however there are some software projects to help make creating and managing your Linux firewalls easier.

Travelling With Linux

Preamble

After a couple of months on the road with my laptop I thought that it might be useful to have a place for road warriors to make a list of those invaluable things to carry with you when you travelling by land sea or air.

This page should continually evolve with technology, and is not just the work of one person. The latest power-packs and hardware add-ons will be at home here.

Power

Software Suspend (Suspend2)

Introduction

Software suspend is a method of hibernating (Windows style) the current state of the machine so that it can restored later on. For example, you’re in the middle of some work on your laptop whilst on the train and need to get off. You can simply press the power button and your laptop will suspend the laptop until you power it on later.

This article covers using Suspend2 in conjunction with hibernate and acpid. It’s aimed at laptop users but you could use it on a workstation too, if you so wished.
