Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) On Fedora 7

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 Fedora 7 Desktop

This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install VMware Server
on a Fedora 7 desktop system. With VMware Server you can create and run
guest operating systems (”virtual machines”) such as Linux, Windows,

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).

Build Your Own Video Community With Lighttpd And FlowPlayer (Debian Etch)

This article shows how you can build your own video community using lighttpd with its mod_flv_streaming module (for streaming .flv videos, the format used by most major video communities such as YouTube) and its mod_secdownload module (for preventing hotlinking of the videos). I will use FlowPlayer as the video player, a free Flash video player with support for lighttpd’s mod_flv_streaming module.
