[Pardus-devel] Conclusions to "Rethinking the Linux Distribution"

[Amine Chadly]

I think combining the idea of an ASRS with flexibility of tags seems
like a big winner to me...
If you want to have a general type of site, I guess that the content
could be about solving particular problems in different flavors of
linux distros.
If it would focus on a particular distribution, then it could be about
general problems... Were you asking for examples ?
 - Accelerate web browsing by setting up a proxy server.
 - Reducing the dns traffic by hosting you own inside your network.
 - Relaying the mail for your own domain.
 - Setting up a svn server for your local needs (or plain text backups !)
 - Setting a vpn for accessing your local network from the outside.

and other little tips and tricks explaining caveats faced and the ways
around them...

What did you have in mind ? ^^
