Ubuntu Servers :: Fair Pricing To Setup 11.04 For A Client?
May 31, 2011
I've had someone approach me recently about setting up an Ubuntu server for his small business. Having never done this for a paying client before, I have absolutely no idea where to begin as far as pricing goes. Here are some of the things I've been asked to put together:
Install and configure Ubuntu Server 11.04 with:
- Apache (LAMP)
- Samba
- SSH
- Subversion
- Webmin
As well as configuring mdadm RAID and setting the system up for multi-user access. For an experienced Linux user like myself, I don't believe that it will take me very long to get things up and running, but again, I have no idea where to even begin as far as pricing goes. Keep in mind that this client is a small business owner of a game development company with only 5 employees. I am told that he only has a "modest" budget to work with. Additionally, it is possible that I will be hired in to this company shortly, to help with game development and to maintain this system which I am setting up. I would like to use this opportunity to make money, of course, but I also want to be reasonable with the client so that I may be hired in to his company in the coming months for a programming job.
is there anyone knows how to setup and configure thin client in edubuntu 10.04?. From the beginning installation until thin client work.we have 2 set of computers. 1 computer installed edubuntu 10.04 and installed LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) in the OS without NIC Card. And the other computers has only NIC card.. We setup it in the bios as a "First Boot" Network Card. We connect 2 computers using "pair-to-pair connection". There and after, we restart the 2 computers. "Nothings Happened".
I am trying to build a file server with RAID 5 over a couple of 1TB HDDs, to serve about 10 client machines using Ubuntu Server. I already own a 22-port switch: HP ProCurve v1810G-24 Switch (J9450A), which I am assuming will do the job. And for the actual server I am thinking of buying: HP ProLiant DL120 1U. Will this hardware suffice, or am I missing something important to get the whole thing running?
I have recently installed an ltsp system, client and server. Everything works except i cannot get my client side serial ports to work or register for that matter. Can anyone point me to the steps i should take to get these working.
I want to setup an email client in order to send/receive emails, but since i am experiencing some issues with my ISP, i decided to setup an SMTP server with Postfix on my machine.The problem is that i can receive emails but i can not send.I read almost every thread in here refering to Postfix, but i could not find the problem on my configuration.So here it is..

I would like to know how to install a webmail server and a suitable client to help connect to it that is compatible with both windows and linux ubuntu.
I have configured server ubuntu 11.04. Everything works fine, but there is a need for some clients to connect local hard drive. What should I do? How and what modules are added to the ltsp-image? How to register in the fstab on the client? Maybe I'm going the wrong way?
I have played around a little bit with CGROUPS and the fair group scheduler ( using kernel version 2.6.31). When you have CGROUPS in a flat structure, with only one layer from the root-cgroup, everything works as you might expect when setting the cpu.shares parameter, i.e. a fraction of the total. But when I experimented with having deeper levels of CGROUPs it did'nt make any sense sometimes. For example, I had one CGROUP with the maximum number of shares (260000 something) , and two childgroups with quite little shares, 5000. Then I created some cpuhogging processes ( while(1); ) and put most of them in childgroups and one in the parentgroup. The logical thing would be if the parentgroups single process took almost all CPU-time, as it had the maximum number of shares, but instead the processes in the childgroups got the most CPU-time.
I have tried to figure out how it works by looking at the source code, but I can't really understand it. How does the hierarchical structure of the cgroup-tree interact with the flat aspect of it, i.e. siblings? Or do I misunderstand the whole concept?
I ended up setting up a basic linux file server as a pdc for that office. Our main office is a windows 2000 ads domain. The two offices are connected with a vpn. I only have two users at the new location so I simply have the linux and samba usernames/passwords setup manually. I would like to know if it is possible to setup a domain trust between the two sites so I don't have to create a username/password in the remote site for every user at the main office to access. I did some searching but came up empty.
Am I right to say, from the server machine, if I ping 192.168.126.130, I am calling the client machine? NFS server ip address is 192.168.126.129? and what about 192.168.255.129? and 192.168.255.128?
I'm trying to setup IPv6 in a PPTP client configuration on Maverick, but in network manager only IPv4 is available.

I've just installed a vpnagent on my Slackware 12.2. A script running the vpnagent daemon is /etc/rc.d/init.d/vpnagent_init. My network is started with rc.inet1. The queston is at which point during the startup to run "vpnagent_init" script. I thought to add a call to rc.locale.
How to setup remote control on Ubuntu 9 for use of windows client ?
Just for use in a home network. I've had a computer for media files for a long time and now I changed from Windows 2000 to Ubuntu 9. I the home network there is some Windows W2k and XP Home and I will use VNC or RDP for remote control of this Ubuntu desktop.

I am trying to setup a web-based secure ftp client that can handle not only file transfers to and from one of my company's servers, but also allow new clients of ours to visit our site, create an account of their own and use it to log in and begin transferring files. This way, the users can manage their own accounts.
I don't know a lot about exactly what is running on our server, though I am almost positive it is debian based. I really only have access via ssh and ftp. I may be able to do more in the server room, but haven't tried. I thought about using net2ftp, but that doesn't seem to work with sftp, and also doesn't allow the creation of new users on the server.
Is there anything out there for me??You will undoubtedly require more information from me, so please let me know what it is and where I can find it and I'll get back to you as quickly as I can.

I'm looking for some information on setting up a VPN client through Networkmanager in Gnome. My company uses a Sonicwall VPN server, and I'm having trouble getting my F11 laptop to connect. I've tried OpenS/WAN with no luck, and stumbled across Networkmanager's VPN setup. I can choose Cisco Compatible VPN (vpnc) which says it's compatible with Sonicwall IPSec-based VPNs. Is there a how-to I can check out, or has someone else got this setup to work?

I currently have a debian lenny high performance cluster running seamlessly using dhcp and tftpd-hpa. All nodes are completely diskless, and i would like to keep it that way. I now would like to have a client boot over local into a full KDE desktop.
Here's the cache. 1. I would like the client to also be a node. I would like it to handle processing as the other nodes do, but this one with a full desktop, with ALL data and privileges accessible. 2. The client will have its own workstation graphics. It will need to have that driver loaded without slowing the system. 3. Client will need to be able to use its own usb, bd-rom, dvd, audio, etc. even though it will be booting into the HPC. 4. Wireless. I cannot run 70 ft of lan across an apartment. not happening.
The idea is a media center applicable "powerhouse" with high-end power and graphics for easy media editing, 3d creation, and gaming. Will also be used for webcache over all local, file sharing, and other server applications.

I decided to use my old computer for torrent downloads and perhaps for mirroring the slack -current. However, the computer is rather weak: Celeron 1,2Ghz, 256 MB RAM. So, which slack release is better to use? I aim to use the jfs file system, but I'm not sure it is good choice.
