Since several years, I have some Ubuntu/Debian repositories on my servers for some custom packages and/or some local backports. I use to have my hand-made repositories, and mrpouit introduced me reprepro. It covers almost all the features we can expect from a package repository and it’s quite easy to setup. Here is a quick installation [...]
When you migration your munin from a 32bits to a 64bits installation, you have to dump restore all your rrd files. Saying that looks like a pain, but in fact, it is easy to do ;-). We migrate some months ago our munin/nagios server at work from an old 32bits server to a brand new [...]
I’m managing a bunch of mailman lists for work and out-of-work activities. The web interface of mailman is great, but sometimes, it is just slow to have to go through the web interface. It is unproductive when you have several pending messages and you have to go through all the queues. Hopefully, listadmin is there [...]

At work, I now have around 50 desktops running Ubuntu and around 40 servers (including customers machines) also running Ubuntu. As you can imagine, when you have a security update of X, this represents a lot of bandwith usage! Not to speak about Hardy upgrade! We started to look at different solutions to optimize our [...]

Yesterday I was talking about Ubuntu advertisings on youtube, today, there is an Ubuntu Server advertising on slashdot :
