To administer Oracle Database 10g and keep it running smoothly, the DBA must regularly monitor its performance to locate bottlenecks and correct problem areas.Finding bottlenecks and problematic areas before they become an issue is in the DBA's best interest.

There are hundreds of performance measurements the DBA can look at, covering everything from network performance and disk input/output (I/O) speed to the time spent working on individual application operations. These performance measurements are usually referred to as database metrics.

Auditing is the capturing and storing of information about what is happening in the system.
It increases the amount of work the system must do. Therefore, Auditing must be focused so

Introduction:
LXR- Linux Cross Referencer, what is it? Well it is "a software toolset for indexing and presenting source code repositories. LXR was initially targeted at the Linux source code, but has proved usable for a wide range of software projects. lxr.linux.no is currently running an experimental fork of the LXR software."

In the real world, people use it to cross reference multitudes of code like kernels. It should have a disclaimer that reads: your sanity is at risk, we have a typical opensource lack of friendly documentation.

Playing around with a script to streamline an installation/configuration on a OpenWRT router I broke a startup script. This article might work for those who firewalled themselves or corrupted the JFFS2 partitionto get back in using OpenWrt's failsafe mode. I was using version OpenWRT Kamikaze7.09.

Introduction

Collanos - A Microsoft Groove killer in an opensource flavor. Its easy to setup in Linux.. WOW! and seems to be rather flawless free piece of software that offers a few features that Groove doesn't. It has versioning and a way to keep track of if a file is deleted or modified that is similar to a "recycle" bin. It is also capable of multiple workspaces, instant discussion and backups. It does to peer-to-peer replication and state backups as well.

Installation

To mount a USB stick through the terminal.

Insert USB stick
mount -a - to detect new devices.

In /dev check and see what the device name is, for example it could be sdc.

In /mnt use mkdir and create a directory that will become the mount point for the USB drive.

Now go mount -t /dev/drivename /mnt/directory

This is intended to illustrate tasks that administrators must consider when deploying Linux solutions in their IT careers.

Cups, what is it?

The Common UNIX Printing SystemTM, or CUPS, is the software you use to print from applications like the web browser you are using to read this page. It converts the page descriptions produced by your application (put a paragraph here, draw a line there, and so forth) into something your printer can understand and then sends the information to the printer for printing.
