This guide will take you step by step, on how to install and configure a basic LAMP server on your Ubuntu desktop.   You might be wondering, why you would want to set this up in a desktop environment. I often do this as a web developer, to have a private, instant server that I have full control over, as I typically can test out a lot of things, to know what I need, and simply what works and what doesn't, without having to worry about restrictions that could be placed upon me by a shared host, and it spares me the cost of renting a Virtual Dedicated or Dedicated... read more

But, installing Arch still could not be any easier. And most of this guide will be an almost copy/paste of most of the Arch wiki as it really is just that easy and straight forward.It won't go into as much detail as the Arch Beginners Guide though. Just enough to get you up and running, no more.The new image is purely a netinstall image due to Arch nature of... read more

Your PC is now currently failing to POST and your expensive parallel processing monster is nothing more than a big, bulky, oversized paperweight. If that is the case then this guide is... read more

How to install a new GUI in Ubuntu For most people, when we venture into Linux, we first use Ubuntu. Wrongly, or rightly, it's a choice that many people including myself made. So we first download the CD, then partition our HDD and then install Linux. Now what? Well, for many first time users it's just a case of learning the ropes. Installing DVD codecs to play back media, installing graphics drivers and maybe playing about with a few internal settings. But beyond that, what is there to do? If you're like me and find exploring new operating systems fun, then maybe... read more
