Set Default File Permission For a Specific Directory
I have a powerful desktop, — and yes, runs Linux. It has a quad-core CPU, and 10GB RAM. My wife only has a small laptop. So, when she needs to do more serious work, like photo processing, she logs in my machine (using her own account) to do it.
And then we have a problem. All [...]
Setup a Unbreakable SSH Tunnel
My company doesn’t have VPN setup. To be able to work from home, usually I have to setup a reversed ssh tunnel from office to my home server (my home router forwards port 12345 to my home server port 22) by running this command from my office machine:

In this way, [...]
Install Skype on OpenSuse x86_64
More than a year ago, when I chose OpenSuse as my desktop OS, clearly I made a wrong decision — I mean, OpenSuse is very good, but I shouldn’t have chosen the x86_64 version. There are just too many compatibility issues.

Setup Apache with multiple Tomcat instances in SUSE 10.1
Recently I registered two domains: my personal domain www.coffeestone.com, — mostly for my blog, wiki, and maybe other personal usage, and … www.myseconddomain.com for our community forum. I plan to use Wordpress for my blog, JSPWiki for my wiki, and JForum for my second domain. JSPWiki and Jforum will be running in Tomcat, and both [...]
Install the latest flash plugin for 64bit Firefox (Linux x64)
My system is OpenSUSE 10.1 x64 on Athlon 64 X2 3800+. Since Adobe released Flash 9 for Linux a few weeks ago, I have been trying to install the plugin for the Firefox 2.0 (64bit), but with no luck. The reason is that the plugin is 32bit, which doesn’t work well with the 64bit Firefox. [...]
