I was using gadoyanvirus with some local modifications, but I was finding it having dfifficultly with Worm.Mytob.DK and viruu zip attachments. Simscan was a quick and easy install and it seems to work perfectly. Here are some notes about installing simscan on Debian. Requires QMAIL-QUEUE patch installed, which is part of the most recent debian packages.

PF and Openbsd keep getting better: MARC: msg ‘interface groups and pf’.
…
block in on egress from (customer:network)…….
there is an “egress” interface group now which follows the default routes. This interface group contains all interfaces which IPv4 and IPv6 default routes point to … So, imagine that on your notebook, where you are sometimes on wireless and sometimes on wired network connections – just write your pf.conf so that it refers to the egress group instead of wi0 and em0, and it will Just Work 🙂

For a month or so I’ve been trying to get mpt-status 1.0 compiled on my new IBM x335 running Debian/Linux 2.6.10.
After finally finishing some other work tonight I start down and looked at it hard. Finally figuring out that it was missing the define macro for __user. So I added #include <linux/compiler.h>, and voilà!
$ sudo ./mpt-status
ioc0 vol 0 type IM, 2 phy, 136 GB, flags ENABLED, state OPTIMAL
ioc0 phy 0 IBM-ESXS ST3146807LC FN B25H, 136 GB, state ONLINE
ioc0 phy 1 IBM-ESXS ST3146807LC FN B25H, 136 GB, state ONLINE
Update: Well supported version of mpt-status now avaliable from ratz.

FireHOL is a Linux iptables packet filtering firewall builder for humans.
Has a nice looking rule set, looks almost as good a pf. Has a straight-forward tutorial for a home network situation.

Nice detailed howto for installing a non-intrusive X.org server on Debian into /usr/local/. This guy has a nice screenshot of window shading and transparency with X.org on a Sarge system.

Some useful information about SATA on Linux. Particularly which chip sets give hardware RAID, and the difference between the IDE and SCSI versions of the SATA drivers.
Since the SI 3112 is quite a common chipset, this is an important comment to take note.

Migrated my UML systems to UMLazi this evening while waiting at the office for an air plane to arrive. I must say is very clever use of bash scripts and a clean system design. I need to spend a bit more time understanding how the template system works, but it seems from the discussions on its website that the author has 100s of systems running with UMLazi.
Only a couple things I felt it was lacking. Still bash is easy enough to write. 😉
