This article will explain how to log inside a Linux box using Windows Domain credentials. This is especially useful in an enterprise environment. I am assuming that my windows username is james.attard and the domain is called ACME. First of all we install Likewise-Open:

james@madvip.net:~$ sudo apt-get install likewise-open

Now we can try to join the domain ACME with a domain administrator account. I'm assuming that my windows username james.attard is part of the domain admins:

james@madvip.net:~$ sudo domainjoin-cli join ACME james.attard

Sometimes you may be watching a DVD whose volume is very quite. In mplayer, to boost audio, is just a piece of cake:

More than often we install the ASP engine before IIS server and therefore we end up with ASP pages not showing up. This is because ASP is not registered with IIS. To solve this you must first register ASP with IIS:

c:\> aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Next step is to reset the IIS server to apply changes:

c:\> iisreset
