"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." (Robert A. Heinlein)

Apache Tomcat om my Linux Server (2)

At last I managed to continue with my Apache Tomcat installation following this howto track.
Apache2 connector installation
I only installed the Apache2 Tomcat connector, since Apache2 is already installed on my server (I use it with Torrentflux):
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-jk
I then prepared  Apache workers configuration file
sudo vim /etc/apache2/workers.properties
workers.tomcat_home=/opt/tomcat
workers.java_home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

ps=/
worker.list=default
worker.default.port=8009
worker.default.host=localhost
worker.default.type=ajp13
worker.default.lbfactor=1

Migrating to Linux: cdcat

Let me write down a little update about my desktop computer (Sempron 2400) migration to Linux.
After Installation I started with replacing some of the default application. I so installed Mozilla Thunderbird as mail client, Gnome Baker as CD-DVD Burner and Avant Window Navigator as dock bar. I then started looking for a CD-DVD catalog application. I first tried Gnome Catalog and DiskSearch but they left me all but satisfied. I finally discovered CdCat.
CdCat is a multi-platform (Linux, Windows and MacOS) application that let you scan your disks and catalog their content in a searchable archive.
I installed CdCat using apt-get command like this
sudo apt-get install cdcat
