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

In General We’ll plug into the wall socket as often as we can, however, does your power supply have a variable input that covers volts over [continued…]

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.

Some of the file paths, file names [continued…]

Clamassassin

For those who want an easy to setup anti virus I highly recommend the use of clamassasin combined with ClamAV and Procmail.

First you’ll need to setup your MTA and Procmail as usual, then get clamassassin from [http://drivel.com/clamassassin/].

Download the package supplied and extract it, and follow the README file.

formail is part of Procmail remember, not a separate package. Also mktemp is most likely already on your system [1], to test try it on the command line, if you don’t get a command not found error then you should be OK.

You [continued…]

Key Signing

I'm not going to discuss here how to handle the simple mechanics of getting PGP (or GnuPG) to manage keys. Neither am I going to go through the basics of public key cryptography. I'll leave that for others to do, and assume here that you know about both of those. (If you want to know more about setting up GPG and how it works, try the mini-howto. Instead, I want to describe the steps that people normally go through to sign someone else's key, and why all of those steps should be done.

Fighting Spam

Fighting spam

Introduction

This page describes some ways in which you can help fight spam or at least reduce the amount of spam you receive in your Inbox. It doesn’t go in to any detail on how to install or setup spamd or spamc for example or how to use the SpamAssassin configuration in a “global” sense (although it’s possible to do).

Some of the configuration file locations may be distribution specific. Some of the configuration options may not work for your release of Linux distribution/release XYZ.

Please add your own details to this page [continued…]
