...e convincing people that using linux is a good idea. People make judgements on this type of thing and they think that linux is slow compared to Windows. When I had windows installed on this same machine dragging windows around did not produce any traces. Using linux on the desktop looks like a throwback to windows 95 on a 486.

Hi Railers, For some time now I''ve been looking for a decent Rails equivalent of PHP''s "htmlentities" command, because ERB''s html_escape (or more commonly called as just "h", eg. <%=h @somevariable %> ) just doesn''t go far enough for me.

After the 'you should use winbind saga', I decide that I needed to learn about using winbind with samba 4 clients. So I created a VM running ubuntu 12.04 server and installed and compiled samba 4 to use as a test client. created /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf [global] workgroup = EXAMPLE security = ADS realm = EXAMPLE.COM encrypt passwords = yes server string =
