Say, you’ve got an SVN for your OpenSource project and would like to mirror it to some remote location that hosts opensource projects (such as SourceForge.net or dev.java.net). I’ll skip the phase of an account and project registration and assume you’ve already got your credentials and SVN repo url. I also assume you are on Debian or Ubuntu and your SVN is up and running under Apache httpd.

With the release of Microsoft’s new Windows operating system (Vista), more and more people are looking for alternatives to Windows for various reasons. This tutorial is the first of a series of articles where I will show people who are willing to switch to Linux how they can set up a Linux desktop (Fedora Core 6 in this article) that fully replaces their Windows desktop, i.e. that has all software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.

In many ways, this is the perfect picture to describe the console situation in Japan. The Nintendo Wii and Ds are both sold out, Sony (not really but metaphorically speaking) is trying to get people to buy their PS3 and the Xbox 360 is no where to be seen. I’d say you couldn’t craft a more perfect picture!

This tutorial shows how you can set up a network-attached storage server with FreeNAS. FreeNAS is based on the FreeBSD operating system and supports CIFS (samba), FTP, NFS, RSYNC, SSH, local user authentication, and software RAID (0, 1, 5). It comes with a powerful web interface and uses very little space on the hard drive - about 32MB.

I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

In this article you will learn a simple method to make PHP/MySQL Pagination Class.

What is Pagination?
==============

What if you have a table with a thousand rows, and you want to allow
the user to browse through the entire table. Simply listing all the
records in that table would not be a good idea. Instead you should
break the table up into smaller “chunks” and allow the user to
navigate through theses “chucks”. This is what pagination does, it
allows you to break up large result sets from a database query, and
present it to the user in a more manageable way.

DirectX 10: why it’s exclusive to Vista

When Microsoft officially announced that DirectX 10 (DX10) would only be available for Windows Vista, many gaming fans yearning to be on the bleeding edge were upset. In order to get the most from their video cards, users would have to upgrade their operating systems to Vista. Some have attributed Microsoft’s decision to be purely based on marketing, but that’s not entirely the case. What other factors were in play?

Sony’s UK head of sales Kevin Jowett has quit – just five weeks from the launch of PlayStation 3 in Europe.

SCE UK commercial director Jowett has been something of a stalwart within the PlayStation division of Sony. He took over as sales director from Doug Goodwin back in 1998 and has played an integral role within the organisation since then, in particular working closely with retailers over stock allocations on PS2, PSP and, more recently, PS3. He has also taken a keen interest in general retail issues such as pricing and the second-hand games market.
