• Entry #1: Why? Which?
  Topic: Diagram Tools
  

  Thu, 15 Dec 2011:

  To avoid verbose logs, I am looking into some good diagraming tools to draw sequence and class diagrams. Since I like doing my text editing in vim, it would be nice if I could generate the diagram from a text file or script.

  I saw some simple examples on this blog of how they use graphviz and it seems quite straight forward.

  So far I'm looking at dia (because it seems the most common), and graphviz because its supopsed to have a decent api.

  Hopefully I can find something which fits my needs, and doesn't generate a (too) ugly diagram.

  Topic: Network With Windows Clients And Linux Admin
  

  Tue, 13 Dec 2011:

  This log is focused on the topic of administering a windows network with a linux server.

  I'm setting up a network to manage windows PC's. We're not in a place to invest into Windows Servers (why would you when you can use linux?) and that fact is not going to let us utallize the well travelled route of Active Directory. The current state of the 'Network' is just a room full of PC's all running independantly with the same software setup, and there is a definate need to have all these computers properly networked with their user data centrallized.

  So, after searching around for good ways to avoid Windows Server, I came across a nice HOW-TO which will use samba to implement policies and redirect user folders to the network drives. The HOW-TO was found here:

  the samba wiki page also gave me some guidance as to where to start out:

  This log will start off documenting my experiences following the tpld.org HOW-TO.
