Introduction
There’s a rather interesting feature about Debian that many people don’t know about. Debian is able to handle “groups” of similar applications. It’s installed by default (part of the base-system in fact) and is quite often used by the post-configuration of installed packages.
How does it work?
The alternatives for a program are listed in /etc/alternatives. While these are not to be removed manually, this directory holds symlinks for each application that has an alternative. This includes symlinks to the binary itself, and to any relevant manpages that might exist for it.

Apt-proxy is a simple program that caches downloaded Debian packages. By setting up multiple client computers to use the same apt-proxy, requested packages are only downloaded from the remote server once and cached. This decreases the load on the remote server and improves the speed with which the apt-proxy clients can get hold of the latest Debian packages! Like most network programs, apt-proxy uses the client and server model. In this case, the computer running apt-proxy is the server and the computers using the server as their source for updates and upgrades are clients.
Note that the current [continued…]

Printing with Linux can appear quite complex to setup but can be as simple as installing cups, and then installing a printer from the web interface at http://localhost:631
Local printers are easily setup.
However, I wanted to print using a networked printer that is on a Windows2000 system. This done by:
Windows Box: Install the printer and setup a share. Install “Other Network File and Print Services” from the Add/Remove Programs -> Windows Components list. Ensure that this service, called TCP/IP Print Server is started, and setup to start automatically.
Linux Box: Add a [continued…]

User Mode Linux
User Mode Linux is a way of running more instances of Linux on your existing Linux system. It runs as a program, called simply, linux. It might help to see a picture:
{{{ __________________________ | | | Linux (host) | | ________________ | | | | | | | User Mode | | | | Linux | | | |________________| | |__________________________|
}}}
Why would anyone want to do that?
It’s a safe way to test things without installing Linux on another machine, or fiddling with disk partitions or having to reboot [continued…]
