How To Harden PHP5 With Suhosin On Mandriva 2007 Spring
This tutorial shows how to harden PHP5 with Suhosin on a Mandriva 2007 Spring server. From the Suhosin project page: “Suhosin
is an advanced protection system for PHP installations that was
designed to protect servers and users from known and unknown flaws in
PHP applications and the PHP core. Suhosin comes in two independent
parts, that can be used separately or in combination. The first part is
a small patch against the PHP core, that implements a few low-level
protections against buffer overflows or format string vulnerabilities
and the second part is a powerful PHP extension that implements all the
other protections.”

Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) On Mandriva 2007 Spring
This document describes how to install a PureFTPd server that uses
virtual users from a MySQL database instead of real system users. This
is much more performant and allows to have thousands of ftp users on a
single machine. In addition to that I will show the use of quota and
upload/download bandwidth limits with this setup. Passwords will be
stored encrypted as MD5 strings in the database.

How To Install VMware Server On A Mandriva Free 2007 Desktop
This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install VMware Server
on a Mandriva Free 2007 desktop system. With VMware Server you can
create and run guest operating systems (”virtual machines”) such as
Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating system. This has
the benefit that you can run multiple operating systems on the same
hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move virtual machines
from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system that has the
VMware Player which is also free).

How To Compile A Kernel - The Mandriva Way
Each distribution has some specific tools to build a custom kernel from
the sources. This article is about compiling a kernel on Mandriva
systems. It describes how to build a custom kernel using the latest
unmodified kernel sources from www.kernel.org (vanilla kernel)
so that you are independent from the kernels supplied by your
distribution. It also shows how to patch the kernel sources if you need
features that are not in there.
