anything you can do with Apache, you can do with Nginx.

sure I practice SEO but I haven't much tutorialized it. php? no, I code in it but again leave that topic to others .. here's a great place for you to learn it:-

http://www.youtube.com/user/phpacademy

drop by the forum at vpsbible, anytime, with any server queries.

second thing is that whether u teach seo too? i would like to have ur seo books / lessons / tutorials.

third thing, do u teach php?

I'm well into all the above! Some will take longer than others. WPMU/BuddyPress for Nginx is ready to go, so that'll be one of the first new posts. W3 I've been hearing a lot about, but haven't put it through its paces yet .. will be looking into it for sure.

@ALL .. want to say, "hot-damn", your feedback has been incredible, from the very first installment of the Bible, right through to its, er, what's the word .. you know, that thing maggots do when they become butterflies! .. you get the picture.

So many supportive emails and comments .. it means a whole lot.

Thank you.

I finished - finally - the site today. It WILL be live on Tuesday. That is a promise.

Kind regards,

_guv-bloke.

PS .. crysalis .. yeah, crysalis. spelt wrong apparently tho ..

I figure I'll launch Tuesday, it'll be finished tomorrow night. Just tightening up some php and cranking a bunch of cross-browser css.

thing was, I was about to launch, but pulled the plug because some key functions weren't working properly, and one thing led to another .. it's a different site now! all seems to be settled in and cooperating now, and the forum especially I reckon is gonna be a great haunt. really looking forward to the community there.

also, I've rewritten, though not from scratch, half the VPS Bible itself, to make it more newbie-literate .. I'll comb the rest when it's live.

as for backup, in 2 words, cron rsync, although yes there are image backup options with both Linode and Slicehost, at least .. but this incremental backup tut is something I've got on the VPS admin list to do!!!

strikes me you lot are gonna keep me busy over the next few lifetimes! good times.

i'd like to hear of your alterations Matt .. let's catch up in those forums.

One thing that I would be interested in seeing is how the_guv has configured backups; whether that be linode's beta backup plan, duplicity, etc.

Keep up the good work. While I may have altered some points in the tutorials to customize my own setup, they have certainly helped in getting familiar (and setup quickly) with a new distro on linode.

It is a good idea also not only update the code of some commands or tools to support the new system, but also a guide on how to update the current server from 8.04 to 10.04

Another problem which I have encountered over the last couple weeks is adding extra users and giving them access to only their domain folder and similar ssh so that they won't be able to go into other domains, basically chroot ssh and sftp. There is so much stuff online, a lot of it is outdated while others complicated and doesn't work always. I have spend a great amount of time and only were able to chroot sftp not ssh. This would be a great tutorial

keep those suggestions coming y'all.
