Best Linux flavor for web application development (LAMP) I've read that Ubuntu and Debian installations far outnumber other distros on virtual private servers at linode.com and slicehost, for example. Not that CentOS isn't popular elsewhere... |

Can Spammers get your email address if it's set as postmaster, webmaster, etc? No. Mail servers don't give out where an email is forwarded to. |

What is the best Linux backup method for a home server? I've had experience with this, and found that consumer NAS devices tend to have such low CPU power that SSH (encryption overhead) and rsync (hashing overhead) are prohibitively slow - 1 to 2 MB per second transfer, plus just reading files is slow even when nothing has changed. Unencrypted FTP was fine. This probably doesn't apply to newer Intel x86 based devices - mine was Marvell Orion based. |

Should DKIM signing happen in the application or the MTA? @Chris S, each application/client could use a different key. DKIM allows for different keys per hostname and even within one hostname. I would have thought that from a security perspective, each client having their own key would be much better than to sign all clients' mail with the one private key. Not saying leaving it to the clients is better, just should be better from a security perspective, and of course security is usually at odds with convenience. |

Should DKIM signing happen in the application or the MTA? Thanks for your answer. A would-be phisher wouldn't necessarily need to fully own your server at root level to send out mail in your name - it would be enough just for one of your users/clients to have poor password hygiene allowing someone into their limited user account. However I see your point that it's still my problem if that happens. Just not sure how to mitigate it. |

DKIM sign outgoing mail from any domain (with Postfix and Ubuntu) Thanks for putting this up here, it's helping others (like me) out :) |

Should eth0:0 have the same IP as eth0? Found it! Have just one iface section and add an "up" subsection with "ip addr add..." - seen here linode.com/wiki/index.php/… |

Should eth0:0 have the same IP as eth0? For a gold star, can anyone tell me how you'd do this in Debian/Ubuntu's /etc/network/interfaces config file? |

How much VPS ram would I need to run Wordpress, Apache, SVN & MySQL? Note that this is for a server running Apache, MySQL and PHP. For Apache in particular I wouldn't want to use a Windows server. |

Case Fan Speed - Control via BIOS, Vista, or otherwise? Speedfan can control fan speeds of PWM fans, but is unlikely to be able to help in this case. In addition, having speedfan installed on a server just doesn't seem like a robust solution. |

Hidden commands on Windows You can do it either way. Depends what your fingers are good at I think, but Alt+Space+x feels a bit more like it's a single key combination :) |

Useful Command-line Commands on Windows hehe. Well I guess it's a swiss-army-knife of command line copying, but with no GUI nonsense. |
