Last week we began playing around with ZeroShell, a multi-purpose LAN server that can run on a old PC. We gathered the hardware, downloaded the CD image, and burnt the Live CD. Then we booted up ZeroShell and configured the IP settings to use an existing router. Finally, we created a profile to store the settings, so they're saved and loaded after reboots or shutdowns.

I led an Ubuntu Open Week session earlier this morning on screen-profiles. As part of the session, I setup a demo on an Amazon EC2 instance running Ubuntu 9.04. In that shared screen session, I as the "teacher" had read/write access to the instance, and 50+ "students" had read-only access. This proved incredibly handy for doing such a demonstration!

Linux Still Not Ready for Prime Time
http://suffolk757.com –

Worry-free Linux power-downs with Anacron
http://www.ibm.com –

This works well for servers and other systems that are powered on 24/7.
