Pimping my fluxbox

Posted 08-27-2011 at 04:02 AM by William (Dthdealer) (Whaling the FOSS)

Fluxbox is my favourite windowmanager for a number of reasons, but its default looks are not one of them. The included styles are mostly horrible and the default menu system in the Debian build has its problems.

I know of two decent sources of fluxbox themes:

Unfortunately both sources are dated - it seems the fad of creating themes for window-managers ended a few years ago. Nevertheless...

Today I get an alarm that a customer's website isn't responding. This particular customer isn't an American customer, and due to international law their server has to be hosted in their own country. So they picked a hosting company over there and we shipped their servers to the hosting company.

Traceroute showed that we could get to the city where they were hosted, but not the server itself. I called the hosting company's support line. After explaining to them that my boss had...

Stable Linux Distro for frequent power cuts

Posted 08-26-2011 at 12:15 PM by nayeem

Tags distro, power cuts, stable

Hello Friends,

I am trying out different Linux Distros, some are easy to use some take time(me being a windows user!). Now I have a different kind of problem, I live in a place where power cuts are frequent so I would like to know if there is any distro which remain stable even if it is not shut down properly and the power goes. I mean when the power comes back it should not give me surprises in the form of warnings or becoming unstable or corrupting the data.

Thanks....

Career Crossroad: LearnSmart Choices

Posted 08-23-2011 at 10:56 AM by pereb

I guess everyone comes to points in their career where they have to choose one of the many paths that they are presented with. I am certainly in that spot currently. A few years ago I got my PMP certification using training from a company called LearnSmart Systems. Their LearnSmart training was excellent and it left me really well prepared to pass my PMP with no problems. For the past two years or so I have been working at a mid-size company in the US as a project manager and have somewhat enjoyed...
