Nemo is the latest effort to provide a new paradigm for file managers. Its approach, at least in its first early development release, is to combine file management with calendar views. Questions remain, however, about whether the concept will scale, and whether it is an improvement on traditional file managers, or simply different.
Wide-screen monitors are great for productivity, but they have a dark side, too: they tempt you into keeping dozens of Firefox tabs open at the same time. Before you know it, the page titles in a long row of tabs become indistinguishable. But the ChromaTabs extension has a novel solution to the problem: it renders each tab in a different color — a unique color for each site that remains the same on every visit.
HowTo: Install And Configure FWKNP (Using EnGarde Linux)
Secret knocks have been used for purposes as simple and childish as
identifying friend or foe during a schoolyard fort war. Fraternities
teach these knocks as a rite of passage into their society, and in our
security world we can implement this layer of security to lock down an
SSH server. The FireWall KNock Operator (fwknop) is an excellent port knocking
implementation that combines encrypted port knocking with passive OS
finger-printing. This makes it possible to define specifically which
Linux systems are allowed access to your SSH server. fwknop combines
its functionality with
iptables rules and log messages to grant or deny access to the SSH
daemon.
Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (CentOS 5.1)
This document describes how to install a Postfix mail server that is
based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in
a MySQL database. I’ll also demonstrate the installation and
configuration of Courier (Courier-POP3, Courier-IMAP), so that Courier
can authenticate against the same MySQL database Postfix uses. The resulting Postfix server is capable of SMTP-AUTH and TLS and quota (quota is not built into Postfix by default, I’ll show how to patch your Postfix appropriately). Passwords are stored in encrypted
form in the database (most documents I found were dealing with plain
text passwords which is a security risk). In addition to that, this
tutorial covers the installation of Amavisd, SpamAssassin and ClamAV so that emails will be scanned for spam and viruses.
Lisa Hoover talks about highlights from this past week — and a little about next week’s stories, too, including a "sneak peek" at one item featured in the (upcoming) Linux.com holiday gift guide.
Conduit allows the user to take their emails, files, bookmarks, and any other type of personal information and synchronize that data with another computer, an online service, or even another electronic device.

For Navicron, a wireless technology company launched in Oulu, Finland, in 2004, open source development means it can move products to market quicker and cheaper. Navicron is just beginning to reach out to the United States in search of a larger market. The company, which creates hardware and software for cell phones, recently opened an office in Texas so company representatives could be closer to potential vendor partners and venture capital in the States.
The Mozilla-based, single-site "Web app" browser Webrunner, which we covered in July, was rebranded Mozilla Prism in October and moved to the Mozilla Labs site. Initially, Prism was only available for Windows, but Mac and Linux builds are now available.
When I hear "mail merge," I usually think of personalizing letters and printing envelopes. However, many other projects can make use of mail merge. This year I tackled a new Christmas gift project by using mail merge in OpenOffice.org (OOo) to create a tear-off daily calendar, personalized with holidays and family events. Here’s how.
Knowledge Tree is an open source document management system (DMS) that helps enterprise users categorize, store, index, and share documents. It offers features like metadata editing, versioning, and WebDAV access, which make it a better choice than a simple file server for sharing documents.
