Is there a performance difference between running .NET applications via Mono and running them via the .NET framework on WINE? Wine Is Not an Emulator. It implements Windows API Functions natively under linux, often running faster than on Windows. So, I would expect very similar performance but of course your mileage may vary depending on the underlying system and depending on the implementation of the runtime engine. |

How do I move my LVM 250 GB root partition to a new 120GB hard disk? Ah, that's nice voting down a valid accepted post with helpful information. I intentionally did NOT give a concrete example, because the danger is that someone will mindlessly copy-paste that and destroy his/her data. If you do anything with lvm, you should be able to find you bearing with the pointers i give. |

Is there a way to get a separate desktop/Gnome terminal for each user logged in through VNC? Ltsp is Good, but wie did not intend to replace our Windows desktops, just give some users graphical accesss to a Linux server. With a powerful machine, this works very well. |

How to sudo visudo without a password, remove all prompts for password I second that. Having to enter your password, which is however slightly different on all systems prevents you from inadverently issuing a command on the wrong system! |

How do I shrink the root logical volume (LV) on LVM? your assumption is not correct. Online resizing (while partition is mounted and used) of ext3/ext4 partitions has been around for a long time. I use this a lot, and have never had a single problem with it. And yes, I have current backups all the time. |

How to create a simple hosting server? While this tutorial is nice if you need all those services, he would get much more services (an possible security problems) than he asks for. A better answer is needed imo. |

How to use postfix's pipe to auto-reply for non-existing accounts This is a very Bad Idea, since spammers will try out addresses on your server often using valid sender addresses. With your scheme, these accounts will get flooded, which might get your server blacklisted. |

Automated backup from Windows/Mac/linux machines to UbuntuServer over LAN There are many solutions. Perhaps it's best to state your requirements first. Backuppc uses no client side software for unix and windows machines, and is set up without scripting. |

Automated backup from Windows/Mac/linux machines to UbuntuServer over LAN Automated Rsync backups of windows machines is not trivial to set up, anyone who has done it in Cygwin knows this. |

Automated backup from Windows/Mac/linux machines to UbuntuServer over LAN I would highly recommend the backuppc you mention. Why can't you use it? Once you have installed and set up backuppc, adding new machines is a snap, and the disk usage is amazingly small. My backuppc server uses 700gb for backing up 15 machines, 3TB in total! |

How to get rid of unused jfsCommit processes? I will never use jfs on this server. I would like a clean way of preventing them from starting up, without causing any unwanted side effects. This could be removing a package, disabling the right startup process in init.d or perhaps some switch either in a file in /etc/defaults or whatever. What i don't want is some kludge in rc.local ;) |
