The Monkey HTTP daemon
Yes, I know: why another webserver tutorial when there are so many good Apache howtos on the Internet? Because this is about what we've been saying for a while: use the right tool for the right job. And while we don't want to badmouth Apache, which is indeed a quality webserver, it offers lots of capabilities that aren't needed on a small scale machine. That's like using a Hummer for commuting, when a Smart would do just fine, if not better. So, if you need to quickly be online and offer services with a small website, Monkey might be for you.
The Computer I Need
LXer Feature: 10-Nov-2011
I never knew I needed a tablet the same way I did not know I needed a cell phone. Once that first cell phone landed in my pocket, I never looked back. The transition was purely natural. It increased my productivity by allowing me access to hundreds of previously physically-based things. My phone now scans my receipts (no paper, no saving and stashing), tracks my tasks (no To Do lists floating around), takes photos (no extra camera), and a hundred other backpack-lightening life upgrades.

Could I believe in Evolution? I go deeper into GNOME
Though I've flirted with console e-mail in the form of Mutt and Pine, I came to the realization long ago that GUI mail clients are the thing for me. I've used Claws Mail, and I pretty much centered my mail-client universe on Thunderbird, running it on every platform I can. But I have kept a fully configured Evolution mail client at the ready on my Debian laptop.

At work, I always have a browser tab open for each of our two Nagios instances. At home, I used to check them from time to time.
