Bring lost window to main monitor
Q. I've opened my application on a computer hooked up to 2 monitors, when I uplugged one of the monitors, I can't see some of my applications. They are on the task bar, but nothing happens when I hit "restore".
A. This happens with applications that remember their location on the desktop. Even though you've disconnected the monitor, the application still thinks that it is connected. The process to fix this issue is quite simple:
Run MS Exchange through Apache
Q. I don't want to expose my windows machine to the world and much rather run Outlook Web Access (OWA) through an Apache Rewrite/ProxyPass - how can I do that?
A. We haven't tested MS Exchange 2007, but it worked with 2003. It is not something that is highly recommended, but it has its advantages. First of all, you are right - the windows system is blocked and only exchange web is accessible. Second, you have 2 servers - Linux and Windows. With ProxyPass, you can host windows applications (ie. .Net, mssql, etc.) and with direct access - you have Apache, MySQL, PHP, python, perl, etc.
XTerm and Gnome (Ubuntu)
Q. I'm having some problems configuring XTerm under gnome. How can I make the font bigger?
A. There are several things that you can try
Method 1
Try creating an alias in ~/.bashrc
alias xtrem='xterm -fg white -bg black -fa "mono-10" '

Mount disks with UUID or LABEL
Q: I have a new disk and I would like to mount it on my existing linux install. I can't use the device name (eg. /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb3, etc) because every time I reboot the partitions shuffle around.
A: There are various ways to mount. You can use LABEL or UUID to mount your disks.
Printing a logo (Raster to Vector conversion)
Q. I'm trying to print our logo (that I got from a <whatever - our website, my outlook signature, etc >) and it comes out blurred. Is there a way to fix that?
A. Yes. First of all, your logo is blurred because of the type of image used. The image that you are using is a raster graphic, what you need is a vector graphic. (See the links for a detailed description of the formats). In short, raster is not suitable for printing sharp images - you need a vector graphic.
Install Telnet Client
Q. I used to have Telnet client on Windows XP and I can't find it on Vista (or 2008 server). Where would I find it?
