Assuming that you can login via SSH as root –

cd /root
wget http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic
chmod +x ./atomic
./atomic

This should install yum if you do not already have it and setup ART/Atomicorp’s Yum Repos for your OS.

yum install mod_ruid2

–

Now to configure -

yum install nano
nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/ruid2.conf

–

Each time you add a new site, edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/ruid2.conf and add the domain as indicated below –

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/[domain]/httpdocs>
RMode stat
RUidGid apache apache
RGroups apache psaserv
</Directory>

And restart httpd and like magic, it’s done. No need to enter FTP credentials for plugins with WordPress or Joomla.

Linux is a freeware and generally speaking its free from Virus and other malware infections.  In this post I will share few Linux facts which may or may not be know for many of us.

1. Only 2% of the current Linux kernel written by Linus Torvalds.

2. The Linux kernel version is written in the programming language C.

3. The first commercial distribution GNU / Linux was Yggdrasil was launched Lice-CD format in 1992. Red Hat was one of the first distributions to settle within companies and data centers in 1999.

4. A guy named William Della Croce Jr. registered the name Linux and demanded royalties for use of the mark. Later, he agreed to assign the trademark to the true owner, who is Torvalds.

5. Countries such as Russia, Brazil and Venezuela have put their focus on Linux as a basis for interoperable management , cost efficient and technologically independent.

6. U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Navy Submarine Fleet, Federal Aviation Administration uses Linux in government offices. Indian state of Tamil Nadu uses Linux for education purpose.

7. 90% of the world’s most powerful supercomputers using an operating system GNU / Linux, in fact, the top ten of supercomputers use Linux. In fact, the penetration of Linux in data centers is very high, 33.8% of the world runs on Linux servers compared to 7.3% does so in a Microsoft operating system.

8. The name of the penguin, Tux , is not entirely clear. On the one hand, it is said that the origin of the name comes from the fact that penguins appear to be wearing a tuxedo, which in English is said max tuxedo tux and is abbreviated. In contrast, another source comes from the letters of the logo of Tux are Unix Torvalds.

9. Torvalds wanted to call the kernel Freax (a combination of “free”, “freak”, and the letter X to indicate that it is a Unix-like), but his friend Ari Lemmke, who administered the FTP server where the kernel was hosted for download, the download directory called kernel of Linux Torvalds.

10. Debian was one of the first GNU / Linux that was constituted and organized as a community of developers.

11. Linux is present in highly critical applications such as Japan’s bullet trains, traffic control, San Francisco, the New York Stock Exchange, CERN, many air traffic control systems or control of nuclear reactors of submarines and ships many nuclear war.

12. Linux programmers are often associated with living “isolated” in the world, however, over 75% of the code developed for the Linux kernel came from private sector developers. In fact, large technology companies like Intel, Google, IBM, AMD, Sun Microsystems, Dell, Asus, HP, Analog Devices, Oracle, Novell or Red Hat help developing applications, contributing to the core or pre-installing any GNU / Linux their machines. In fact, during the 2003 Super Bowl (which paralyzes the United States and remains glued to the TV for many Americans), IBM delivered a beautiful ad talking about Linux and open source options.

13. The GNU project in 1991, had no drivers and kernel, that’s what led to Linus Torvalds to address the Linux kernel development. If GNU had had, perhaps, Torvalds had not been put to work on that.

14. The Linux kernel is now the most widely ported operating system, running on a great variety of operating systems.

15. World known companies such as Google, Cisco, Facebook, Twitter, Linked in etc use Linux as their main operating system.

Spread Linux OS advantages with your friends.

Called Fragile Earth, the app for iPhone and iPad shows how our planet is impacted by global warming by featuring more than 70 sites such the receding Muir Glacier in Alaska, the impact of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the draining of the Mesopotamia Marshes in Iraq.

“We don’t necessarily put an opinion on it,” said Jethro Lennox, head of publishing at Collins Geo, a division of Harper Collins UK which created the app.

“We’re just trying to visually portray some of the geographical features and changes around the world.”

The app also shows the impact of natural disasters including the devastating earthquakes in Haiti and Pakistan and the tsunami in Japan, and how mining, deforestation and dam building have changed areas of the planet.

In TurnKey 11,  instead of installing the root filesystem directly to a fixed size partition, we setup LVM by default, and install the root filesystem to a Logical Volume, which may later be expanded, even across multiple physical devices.

Unfortunately, as with anything powerful, to get the most out of LVM you first have to negotiate a learning curve. From the feedback we’ve been getting it seems that confusion regarding LVM is  common with new users, so here’s a quick “crash course”.

But of course, you should aim to make it as brief as possible. “The longer you’re laid off, the harder it is to get back in the market,” says Nicole Williams, LinkedIn’s connection director. Act fast to get the ball rolling before you forget what it feels like to wear real pants and chit-chat over a box of donuts (with other people, that is).

One positive note: The whole ordeal might not be as miserable as you think (“funemployment,” anyone?). Last year, an Australian study found that unemployed folks were actually happier than the drones stuck in miserable jobs. Maybe this’ll be the best thing that ever happened to you. (Cheerleader jump! Cheerleader jump! Rah! Rah!)

Read on for a few social network to-dos to get you back in the rat race.

Target your pleas.

Last week we covered strategically letting your circles know about the change in employment status (in short: Be brief, be upbeat, and only tell those who could specifically help you). A similar principle is at play as you’re seeking out potential business contacts to bug.

“A mistake a lot of people make is just contacting everyone they can find with a generic note,” Williams says. A better approach: Figure out something (or someone) you have in common with the individual, and send a personalized note along with your Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn request.

“You have to get them to be interested in your situation,” she adds, “because people are busy, and why should they worry about your career?”

Stalk potential employers.

Not literally, of course. But when job-searching online, most people tend to think about job boards such as Monster.com and Craigslist.com.

While there’s nothing wrong with keeping an eye out for appropriate openings (and plenty of people indeed find new gigs on such sites), massive job listings are often a slang word that rhymes with “duster-duck” — meaning they’re disorganized, crowded and teeming with humanity.

Sometimes a job will be posted days after the hiring managers have made a decision, when corporate policy requires it. Months-old listings will mysteriously float to the top long after they’ve been filled.

And in the journalism world, for example, a listing on industry tracker MediaBistro.com can yield hundreds of enthusiastic applications. Go ahead and wade in the morass of job aggregators, but we recommend taking a more targeted approach in the meantime.

Brainstorm some corporations that should be dying to hire you, and figure out how you can keep dibs on them. “That way you’ll be privy to any movement in jobs or anything they’re doing industry-wise,” Williams says.

If the company’s striking out on a new project that matches your skills, you have an in to request an informational interview with a higher-up over there, for example. And if you note that someone with your dream job just departed for Company X, you can swoop in.

Poke around their website for an RSS feed of company news and add it to your own feed reader (such as Google Reader) for easy stalk-age. Follow the company on LinkedIn (go to the company tab along the top, search, and follow) to see who’s leaving (and who will, presumably, leave behind a vacancy), and what current employees are in your circle — they’re your goldmines in the “Whom do I address this cover letter to?” game.

Downplay the layoff in your job apps.

Here’s the thing: If you’re the right candidate, then you’re the right candidate — whether you’re currently at another company or currently signing up for market research focus groups to pay the bills between rounds of job-searching.

While there’s no shame in having been let go (at this point, we all know upstanding employees who fell victim to the economy), your cover letter should shimmer with hireability, not with the grayish Braille of woe-is-me teardrops.

Think of it this way: If you come across as defensive, insecure or bitter about the layoff, you’ll raise all sorts of red flags in a hiring manager’s mind.

But if you’re bursting with confidence and talent and good ideas (and, oh yeah, it comes up in the interview that you’re looking for a new job because you don’t have one but the job termination was circumstantial and, hey, here’s a recommendation letter from your former boss), you seem like the kind of employee who always lands on his feet. And in this earthquake of an economy, a little catlike agility is a very good thing.
