Ventrilo Voice Communication Server In A Chrooted Environment On Ubuntu Feisty AMD64
Author: grant • Tags: ubuntu • Comments: 5Ventrilo Voice Communication Server In A Chrooted Environment On Ubuntu Feisty AMD64 This tutorial explains how to set up Ventrilo, a popular voice communication server, in a chrooted environment, and to run as a non-privileged user. The main reason for doing this is security. Ventrilo is distributed only in binary format, which some people distrust. A chrooted environment means the program only has access to its home directory, not the entire system. Running it like this means that if there is a bug or exploit in Ventrilo, it is not likely to compromise the rest of the system.

Installing Ubuntu From A Windows System With Wubi
Author: Falko Timme • Tags: desktop, ubuntu • Comments: 9Installing Ubuntu From A Windows System With Wubi Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows that lets you install and uninstall Ubuntu from a Windows desktop. Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows you to run Linux. Ubuntu is installed within a file in the Windows file system (a loopmounted partition), this file is seen by Ubuntu as a real hard disk. That way the hard drive does not have to be repartitioned before the Ubuntu installation. The resulting Ubuntu installation is a "real" Linux system, not just a virtual machine. Wubi makes it easy for Linux newbies to play around with Ubuntu.
