kHTTPd is a webserver that handles only static (file based, non-cgi/php) webpages, and passes all requests for non-static (dynamic) information to a regular userspace-webserver such as Apache or Zeus. This is benificial because it offloads the delivery of static webpages to the kernel, allowing the userspace-webserver program (such as apache) to do what it does best: deliver dynamic content (cgi-bin, php).

"With all the choices of graphical e-mail clients available to Linux users, the reader may wonder why I would spend time on a terminal based e-mail program. Like other debates on GUI vs. terminal base applications, the answer to this question is "it depends". Let me start with why I use Mutt and then why you might like it too."

This article explains how to access the various Windows filesystems from Linux, and how to access ext2fs from Windows. Find tips on mounting partitions and using Samba, and take a look into the future of Linux-Windows cross-file access.

This list is not a complete list of all the hotkeys available, we could spend days on some of the more obscure and/or mundane ones. Instead, this list covers the more useful and generic ones trying not to be application specific.

"My idea is to have two instances of XFree86. The first will be using a normal XFree86 server, it will initialize the main video card and attach it to a VT. It will also use the standard system AT keyboard and something (PS/2, serial, USB emulated as PS/2, whatever you want) as a mouse. The second instance of XFree will be my modified X server."

Reiserfs will soon become the first journaled file system to be bundled as part of the standard Linux kernel tree. What is a journaled file system, how does Reiserfs fit into that category, and why should you care that it's about to become part of the Linux core?

"I got together all of my resources in one place, sat down with the README and CHANGES docs that come with the kernel, and decided to document, step by step, the process I went through. This was done on a *fresh* install of Redhat 7 on an AMD 700MHz, with a Voodoo 3 3000 PCI, and 128MB RAM."

The DNS works on a question-answer model. If a client needs information from the DNS it sends a question to a DNS server and the server returns an answer. Until recently it was only possible for a server to examine a question and determine whether or not to answer it based on the IP address the question originated from.

This child of Sun Microsystems is ubiquitous on just about every Linux or UNIX distribution you can think of. NFS stands for "Network File System", and you can even get it for that other OS, which makes it an ideal first choice for exploration of file sharing.

CUPS is the Common Unix Printing System, and it solves a multitude of problems. My guess is that it will become the Linux standard before long. Mostly, CUPS works.
