Jokosher is a great multi-track audio recording tool for Linux. It’s not quite ProTools, but it’s really easy to use, and has some great effects available. I’ve seen it described as GarageBand for Linux. The effects aren’t installed with the Jokosher package, so if you want the effects, just run this command to add them.

From the Ubuntu Forum:

If you run an ssh server on your Ubuntu system, and allow password based authentication, then you’ll want to install DenyHosts. It watches the log files and blocks the IP address of those who fail to authenticate too many time. As always, while this article is Ubuntu oriented, the same basic procedure works on other […]
After reading this article at HappyLinuxGuy’s Happy Linux Thoughts page, I thought I might share with you a way to recover password on a *nix system. The commands and screenshots here will be Ubuntu oriented, but this basic process should work for any distro.
When you create an account on a Linux system, the password isn’t […]
Though I have a bit more than ten years of experience with Linux, I’ve only been using Ubuntu for less than a week, so I was a bit surprised when I was contacted today by Matthew East of the Ubuntu Documentation Project. He had this to say:
Hi,

After a friend gave me a new laptop, I quickly installed Ubuntu on it, and though I knew it was pretty good about hardware detection, I expected to have to fight to get WiFi and Bluetooth to work, but since it detected everything at install, I decided to try to use it to manage the […]
Found this on the Ubuntu Forum and thought it was worthy of sharing. The person who created it (MenZa on Ubuntu Forum) released it under GPL, so feel free to copy, edit or distribute it. Vector art available here: http://menza.org/upload/ubuntucert.svg
