Lazy Linux: 10 essential tricks for admins
From recovering a root password to running a VNC session through an SSH tunnel, here are the slick moves that'll make your fellow admins say "wow."  More >
Report from O'Reilly Open Source Convention 2008: David Mertz ends the week on a philosophical note, pondering how knowledge can be extracted from text, literature extracted from code, and anything useful extracted from his 10 years in grad school.
Anatomy of Linux loadable kernel modules: A handy feature of Linux is the capability to add and subtract kernel functionality at run time, letting you tailor the environment precisely for your needs. Learn how LKMs are structured and how they connect to the precompiled kernel elements.
Migrate device control applications from Windows to Linux: Migrating device control apps from Windows to Linux can be a complicated undertaking, but the process will go much more smoothly if you understand the architectural differences. We take you through the fundamentals and then apply that knowledge to a sample migration project.
Anatomy of Linux journaling file systems: Review the basic reasoning behind journaling file systems, the ways they provide better system and data integrity, the various file systems available today, and what's coming along in the next generation.
Protect your data at rest with Linux: Reduce the loss of stored data by setting up a new encrypted data partition, swap partition, and temporary file system, and migrating your old data to the new encrypted partition. Also learn about a new file system, eCryptfs, for data encryption.
Port applications to Linux for System z: Organize your porting project, get familiar with System z-specific technical details such as mainframe virtualization, byte-ordering, and address calculation, and learn which development tools are supported.
