			==Users & Home Directories==
			Found an excellent article on line on [[Restrict SFTP User to Home Directory\|restricting SFTP users to their home directories]] and implemented that. I've been wanting to do that for ages and never got around to doing it.

	I'm a fan of SSH-ing back to my home server and utilizing a desktop there when I'm away from home. I find it an easy way to provide privacy, ease of use, having all my tools there, etc. After installing Ubuntu Server, I did a '''sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop''' and waited for the desktop core elements to be installed. After that, a VNCSERVER setup and then SSH over Putty from my Windows box shows a working remote desktop on the server. Difference in RAM usage was roughly 128MB+. I started doing this back in 2006 and you can read [[VNC over SSH]] for more on that.		I'm a fan of SSH-ing back to my home server and utilizing a desktop there when I'm away from home.

			==Torrents==
			I've been a fan of the apparently defunct [[www.torrentflux.com Torrentflux]] project for ease of use and features that I want. That's up and running.

			=To Do=
			* Set up Samba shares for internal use
			* Determine what to do with the old server
			* Put more drives in the new box
			* Put in dedicated nic cards in the new box (one for web, one for squid)
			* Migrate data from the old server to the new one
			* Look for some more memory for the new box

I've been running a Fedora Core server in the attic for years (just checked the version: FC7) and decided that it was time to move things over to a newer distro. Before the FC install, it was Mandrake (pre-Mandriva), and this time it will be an Ubuntu 10.10 server install.
