As a follow up to my previous MediaWiki article, I've come back with an Advanced Multi-Site version of the same project.

I have also restructured the DFWLPiki Articles page, to make navigating the various articles much easier.

I've started working on a new writeup, about Installing MediaWiki into a FreeBSD Server.

I've recently written up a new Howto article about FreeBSD jails, and the method I use to create them. I follow very closely to the cannonical method lined out in the FreeBSD Handbook, and the article takes you thru creating and updating a host and jail system. Check out Creating and Managing A Jailed Virtual Host in FreeBSD.

One obstacle I had when I first getting started with FreeBSD, was how to keep multiple systems updated, but without keeping a copy of the full source and ports trees on each system. So to describe how I keep up with this madness, I have written an article, about how to manage multiple FreeBSD systems on your network. Build it one time, deploy it many times... just the way I like it!

Belated news update, but Deploying a FreeBSD 6.2 Desktop is finished and ready to go!

I have finally completed my Deploying a FreeBSD 6.2 Server how-to article. Deploying a FreeBSD 6.2 Workstation is soon to follow!

FreeBSD 6.2 is now making its way to the FTP mirrors! I have also written up a new updated article, Installing FreeBSD 6.2. New Desktop and Server articles are soon to follow!

I've not updated my blog in forever and ever, but today I just had something in me that had to get out. Why I Fell In Love With FreeBSD.
--Sharaz 21:44, 27 December 2006 (CST)

I have made some updates to the Bind9 article, cleaning up some examples, and correcting a staggering amount of spelling errors. As soon as FreeBSD 6.2 comes out, I plan to have a new articles up for installation, and server or workstation deployment.

DFWLPiki has moved to a new home! If you are reading this, then you are accessing this site hosted on a virtual machine! With the termination of my Colo Services, I have virtualized the bulk of DFWLP's public services into VMware guests. DFWLPiki is still mirrored on ZEUS for the time being while my new internet connection is upgraded here at DFWLP Headquarters, so that one is still online (check your DNS lookup to see which one version you are accessing). After my internet connection is upgraded, I will be switching all the public DNS entries to point to this new virtual version

I did a major DNS migration, and something broke in the mysql backend on this wiki. Luckily I had all my pages available in a dev version of this wiki, but I wasn't able to do a clean backup.sql dump back into a new database. All the pages are up and running, but the ones that had images will have blank spots until I can get all the images uploaded again (I wasn't able to figure out how to migrate the Special:Upload_Log).

The Installing FreeBSD 6.1 Article is complete, as well as Deploying a FreeBSD Server. Both of these articles can be found on the Howto Articles page.

Deploying a FreeBSD Workstation is now finally a work in progress. Even though I don't consider it finished, it should still be suitable to follow to get a workstation up and running.
