Server without a static IP address is like a wedding night without a bride. So, how can we fix it?
Setting static Internet Protocol address on your Debian server is as easy as editing a simple text file. Do all of this with root user account or add sudo before command. Use your favorite text editor. I like using vim. If you'd like to use vim also, install it using
apt-get install vim -y
Now, go ahead and edit the config file.
vim /etc/network/interfaces

I was installing Xubuntu 11.04 on DELL D531 Laptop with Broadcom BCM4311 wireless card. After installation, wireless was not working. Xubuntu detects the driver and you can install it via Restricted Drivers utility, but it will download incorrect driver for this wireless card.
This is how to fix it:
To find out witch wireless adapter you have, run $ sudo lspci -v command.

I will be using Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition for this example. This will let you do ssh tasks on a remote machine without it asking for a password every single time. This is very helpful, especially for an automated cron job. Let's begin.

There are only two steps in this process. First, generate the ssh key on a local machine. Second, copy that key to any other remote machines that you will be accessing without a password.

First command that you need to run is ssh-keygen
For a simple test, you can just hit the Enter key for every question.

My first how-to article will be on installing the desktop version of K/X/Ubuntu on Software RAID0 with only two hard drives. I had a HP laptop that could hold two hard drives, but no hardware RAID controller. But if you would like to setup your own RAID configuration with what ever drives you have, building server or just desktop, you can still follow this how-to but change a few things to fit your needs. I used Virtual Box to make screen shots. You can also you VirtualBox to "try before you buy."
