Keitt Lab

Here's a brief write up about the project.

I was just reading reports by people installing the latest Ubuntu release: Karmic Koala. Some reported no problems with the beta version, but massive problems with the release candidate. This is almost certainly caused by installing from a corrupted CD image. These errors can be silent, but will cause seemingly inexplicable failures.

After installing a server, I often want to use X11 to do remote display on my desktop. The recommended way to do this is to use "ssh -X <server>" so that the X11 session is tunneled through the encrypted SSH session. (Substitute your server name for "<server>"; no quotes.)

(Note, you can also set X11 forwarding permanently on a machine-by-machine basis by putting commands in "~/.ssh/config"; see "man ssh_config".)
