Hi

Instead of using a full-blown new virtual X for developing software you can use Xephyr to embed your KDE 4 session into your working KDE 3 or other X11 environment.

If you want to get a minimal KDE session up and running, just launch Xephyr (available in Kubuntu as xserver-xephyr; Gentoo users compile x11-base/xorg-server with USE=”kdrive”):

Xephyr :1 -extension GLX &

You can now launch KDE:

export DISPLAY=:1
/path/to/kde4/bin/startkde &

For other X11 environment just change /path/to/kde4 like:

/usr/bin/startx &

or

/usr/bin/startkde &

or

/usr/bin/startxfce&

You can use “locate” command to find paths like:

locate startkde

Hi
I wrote post about Webmin in ITPencil. My Persian friend like it. I decide to write post about Webmin and how to installing it on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10).
It’s very good for newbie.

from webmin.com:

Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely.

Installing Webmin On Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10)
Webmin has some dependency package.
Install dependencies:

sudo aptitude install bash perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl \
libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl

After install dependencies, you can download and install Webmin. Last version of Webmin is 1.390.
Download Webmin:

sudo wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.390_all.deb

Install Webmin:

sudo dpkg -i webmin*.deb

Log in and use it:
Copy this URL into your web browser: https://localhost:10000
