/proc filesystem
Hi Kavi, Files in /proc have only one purpose: to allow users and the system administrator to query and instruct the Linux kernel. For example, /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward allows people to know if the kernel is forwarding IP packets or not. This …

error in android:text
Hi Nitish, It's considered bad practice to have the literal text 'Start Client' within the layout. The best thing to do is to define the text in strings.xml and refer to it from the layout. In this way, should you want to update the …

Sending Mail in PHP
Have a look at your email server log (should be /var/log/mail.log or something similar) and search for any error message. I suppose you've also had a look at your spam folder.

To be frank, I've never done that before. Have a look at this and that for some tips.

What technologies do you think will make a lot of buzz in 2012?
Yes, I have to agree. It's scary to think about how much trust we have in those companies offering online services... But can we do without them?

Happy birthday
Thanks for reminding us, @nadim. I'd love organising a Linux and Open Source Conference one day where the guest speaker would be Linus Torvalds. Who wants to help? :-)

Web Server & Facebook API
Hi @Sabiru, are you looking for affordable web hosting? I've used ICDSOFT in the past and I was very satisfied i.e. Linux / Apache / PHP / MySQL. They are very affordable too. As for the Facebook API, I'm not really an expert but the off…

What Linux distribution do you prefer and why?
Hi @maripuri aka Dilip! Ubuntu is a very good distribution too as is Mint which is derived from it. We're lucky to have so many good operating systems around now. When I started Linux in 1999, things were tougher but I have to say that this al…

Good PHP books
If you need to transform an image into a webpage i.e. slicing, this is relatively well supported in The Gimp: * Use guides to define the various parts of your image (see http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-concepts-image-guides.html) * Use the slice plugi…

Linux grub disappears with windows7
You should install grub again... and this is easier said than done as your Ubuntu does not boot. There are two ways to solve the issue: (1) either boot with a live DVD, mount the Ubuntu partitions and run grub-install again or (2) (much easier) in…

Top Ten Apps That Make Linux Fun To Use
Sure. Keep Photoshop and Windows around if you need them :-) Personally, I've been using The Gimp and Inkscape on Linux as well as a few affordable but not open source software on the Mac for some years now and everything works well enough for…

OpenVZ alongside VirtualBox
Not me, @nadim. Google can be very useful sometimes :-) I've just found about OpenNode (via a post on the OpenVZ forum). OpenNode looks like what you are looking for: running OpenVZ and KVM (for virtualisation) at the same time. One person al…

Good PHP books
Thanks @nadim. I think websites are great to read about new technologies and techniques. But nothing beats actually doing those things e.g. designing a website from scratch using W3C-compliant and semantic HTML(5) and CSS(3). This is where one real…

Good PHP books
PHP and MySQL Web Development is a good book which goes deep into developing web applications. I also find PHP in Action: Objects, Design, Agility quite interesting. The focus is less on developing web apps or websites and more on learning and usin…
