How to Setup an Ubuntu Linux Dedicated Server for FreeToday

How to Setup an Ubuntu Dedicated Server for Free

All great websites have a great server behind them. NETTUS has shown us how to set up a dedicated web server for free (with Apache, MySQL, and PHP) using that old computer you have lying around the house and some free software. In the tutorial, you are going to learn the following things.

1) You are going to install the Ubuntu Server operating system. Ubuntu is easy to use with simple administration. It also has a rather large and extremely active community behind it, which makes getting support a breeze.

2) You are going to install an OpenSSH server. This allows you to administer your server from remote computers.

3) A LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) stack is going to be installed. This provides the backbone that will run your web site. Apache is the industry standard web server on Unix-based operating systems.

4) You are going to install a firewall to protect your server from unauthorized access.

Beautiful sIFR Replaced Text with a jQuery PluginDecember 2

The jQuery sIFR Plugin is an addon for jQuery that makes it easy to replace text in a web page with flash text (sIFR, Scalable Inman Flash Replacement). It gives you a function in javascript to replace text in a web page dynamically with sIFR text, using native jQuery functionality along with the jQuery Flash Plugin.

The jQuery sIFR plugin is fully configurable and can choose how little or how much you want to customize the display of the sIFRed text. It uses jQuery’s native functionality to eliminate the otherwise code redundancy in SWFObject, meaning you get a much smaller filesize and even faster loading.

SocialHistory.js Detects What Social Sites Your Visitors UseDecember 1

Nowadays, there are so many social bookmarking sites, e.g.Del.icio.us, Digg, Facebook, Fark, Mister-Wong, Newsvine, Reddit, Technorati, Slashdot, StumbleUpon and etc…

What do you to do if you want readers to promote your content? Encourage your visitors to submit their favorite stories directly to Digg? Not everyone uses Digg. You have to decide on which bookmarking site, if any, to dedicate your precious screen real-estate. It’s a hard choice. If you choose poorly your reader won’t vote—it’s not a single click coupled and out-of-sight means out-of-mind—and your content losses its chance to make it big. You have to choose your horse wisely.

On the other hand, if you take the bird-shot approach, it overloads your reader with branded badge after branded badge. It turns your page into the village bicycle. Not pretty. Nobody seems to have solved the problem yet.

If you could detect which social bookmarking sites your reader uses, on a per-reader basis, you could display only the badges they care about. SocialHistory.js enables you to detect which social bookmarking sites your visitors use. SocialHistory.js has a big list of the most popular social bookmarking sites which it checks against.
