From past few days was looking for some nice script, which i can use to view my server side files.. actuelly i was very much facinated by the way wamp server index page shows the files in your shared (WWW) folder. and had a discssion about my this requirement with my brother (Linuxreaders.com). and he suggested me simpledirectory and i tried it and its amazing.

It provides many useful functions.

French police switch from Windows to Linux

The French national police force has slashed its IT costs by 70 per cent by cutting Microsoft out of the equation.
There are many arguments for or against switching from Windows to Linux. Many times these arguments are based more in fanaticism than fact.

In a recent report, the French national police force, Gendarmerie Nationale, has provided some great facts supporting the switch from Windows to Linux.

In 2002, the Gendarmerie Nationale adopted a strictly open-standards IT policy in order to improve inter-organisation communications.

Until 2004, a large part of the IT budget was spent on software licences — between 12,000 and 15,000 licenses each year. In 2004, an accountant in the Gendarmerie Nationale tried OpenOffice and, after finding it a surprisingly competent replacement for its paid counterpart, started pushing for it to be adopted within the organization instead of Microsoft Office. read more..

Plugin: SquirrelMail with Strong password

April 25th, 2009 Jigish Thakar No comments

Linuxreaders.com: I am using Squirrelmail for my Qmail, with poppassd service to change password.

This works fine, except password change. It by default allows user to change password to their first / last name / domain name (my email id format is firstname.lastname@domain) Which is easily guessable. I was searching better plugin, but could not find any with complex password (ofcourse there should be better plugin).

Thus I modified this plugin to prevent user at the squirrelmail from entering easy passwords.

I prefer to prevent users at squirrelmail rather being dependent on qmail / poppassd.

I hope squirrelmail release better plugin which can prevents passwords which are based on dictionay, matches user id.
