Tutorials and HOWTOs

This section aims to be a comprehensive resource for freely redistributable information, focusing on (but not limited to) technical information. Initially the articles will probably center around Linux-related or open source software, but we hope that as we recruit contributors, we will collect information on such diverse topics as gaming and 3D modeling (among many others).

Please enjoy our (currently very small) selection of HOWTOs and tutorials. Right now it consists of an outdated VirtualBox tutorial, and parts of an ongoing tutorial on setting up an OpenBSD router.

Articles

  • VirtualBox Networking - This tutorial explains how to set up bridged networking in /etc/network/interfaces/. It was far more relevant before this option was available in the GUI. However, it may still be in terms of setting up bridged network interfaces.

  • TFTP Server for OpenBSD Installation - This tutorial describes the process of setting up a DHCP and TFTP server to install OpenBSD 4.9 over the network using PXE. There is an optional component describing how to configure your existing web server to serve the file sets during installation.

  • OpenBSD VirtualBox Guest Installation - This is the second part of a general HOWTO on setting up an OpenBSD router, complete with a transparent caching proxy server. This section simply describes the install process.

If you're interested in writing your own article, please see Notes on the wiki. It contains a few tips on using this particular site's wiki.

Currently, editing pages is disabled for non-staff members, but this restriction will be lifted as soon as we finish testing our page history functionality, and all registered users will be able to edit.
