Keeping user data seperate from system data on Apple OS X
on Monday 25th February, 2008 Gabe speculated thusly…One of the things I grew to like about Linux was the /home directory. Any data for a user was always stored there. Furthermore, you could easily have that home directory on a different disc so when you deleted your system, you didn’t lose your user data too.

Apache 2 with SSL on FreeBSD 6
on Monday 15th October, 2007 Gabe speculated thusly…It wasn’t exactly trivial installing and configuring Apache 2 on FreeBSD. Much of the configuration had to be done manually, which depending on your point-of-view is good or bad. This describes how I went about getting Apache 2 with SSL support up and running on FreeBSD 6. I did this on 6.2 but it should equally apply to 6.x. (more…)

on Wednesday 26th September, 2007 Gabe speculated thusly…Firstly let me just say that I had quite a few problem with Lighttp (aka Lighty), and some of them related to PHP. However, I now have Lighty, PHP, and MySQL playing nicely and… it’s fast! This was tested with: Lighty 1.4.18 and PHP 5.2.3_1 on FreeBSD 6.2. (more…)
Mounting A Directory in Two or More Places without copying (for Linux)
on Saturday 1st September, 2007 Gabe speculated thusly…Have you ever wanted to show the contents of another user’s directory in a folder of your own? Or perhaps for whatever reason wanted to have the contents of a directory in two places at once, but without copying across? Well in Linux there is a way. Directories can be bound to other directories. The contents of one directory shows up in another, change one, and you change them both. Say for example you had the following directory /usr/home/fred but you wanted it to appear in Tom’s home directory also. (more…)
