This repository includes information and programs to use Raspbian Stretch on the pi-top laptop (version 1 and 2) and the pi-topCEED.
The Debian project's canonical list of groupware available for Debian.
A procedure for turning a Debian Linux (Lenny) system installed on a single drive into a Debian Linux system running a two-disk mirror without rebuilding the whole thing. The procedure also shows you how to configure GRUB to boot from either drive.
How to install Sun/Oracle Java on an Ubuntu system. Some apps just aren't happy unless they can find Sun's trademark somewhere in the .jar files, I guess...
Short, sweet, and to the point: how to query information about packages available in Debian repositories, such as revision, maintainer, or section.
Since Oracle decided to change the license on Java such that it can't be packaged by Ubuntu or Debian anymore, here's how to install it yourself fairly painlessly.
How to disable system services controlled by Upstart on Ubuntu and Debian systems.
A website with a downloadable shell script which turns a raspi into a personal OpenVPN server. Lets you customize the configuration if you like. Appears to use a hardened OpenVPN configuration. The script will work with pretty much any Debian or Ubuntu v14.04 server you stand up someplace. The script can also be use to manage the server so you don't have to fight with the OpenVPN command lines.
A script that sets up openvpn on debian, ubuntu, centos, and arch linux. Interactive, will ask you questions used to generate configuration settings.
A non-interactive system for automating the installation of Debian (and derivative) systems, sort of like Redhat's Kickstart or Solaris' Jumpstart. Used for unattended mass deployment (machine cloning). Centralizes deployment and configuration management. Can also be used to build out virtual machines. Can even set up LVM and RAID on new machines!
Spindle is the suite of scripts that were used to build the Raspbian OS images that we all know and love. The idea is that they do all the hard work of making the image files, keeping their contents as clean as possible, and removing as much manual intervention (and thus potential craft error) as is practical.
