This is done for testing purpose and browsing a few site that only works with Internet Explorer. Since I only use it for testing I made 16GB for Vista and 5GB for CentOS and 5GB in size for FreeBSD guest operating systems. However, after some time I realized I'm running out of disk space under both CentOS and Vista. Adding a second hard drive under CentOS solved my problem as LVM was already in use. Unfortunately, I needed to double 32GB space without creating a new D: drive under Windows Vista.

Programs such as sendmail / postfix / exim can be configured as a gmail smarthost but they are largely overkill for this use. ]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-use-gmail-as-a-smarthost.html/feed 29 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-backing-up-large-files.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-backing-up-large-files.html#comments Mon, 30 Jun 2008 09:04:59 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/?p=2425 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-backing-up-large-files.html/feed 2 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/gpcode-file-encryptor-ransomware-virus.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/gpcode-file-encryptor-ransomware-virus.html#comments Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:42:52 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/?p=2353 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/gpcode-file-encryptor-ransomware-virus.html/feed 0 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-virtual-filesystem-for-flickr.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-virtual-filesystem-for-flickr.html#comments Sun, 20 Apr 2008 02:50:25 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/?p=2219 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-virtual-filesystem-for-flickr.html/feed 1 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/flyback-time-machine-backup-software-for-linux.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/flyback-time-machine-backup-software-for-linux.html#comments Mon, 21 Jan 2008 11:12:20 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/flyback-time-machine-backup-software-for-linux.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/flyback-time-machine-backup-software-for-linux.html/feed 3 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rotate-ftp-backup-using-a-shell-script.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rotate-ftp-backup-using-a-shell-script.html#comments Sun, 20 Jan 2008 19:40:49 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rotate-ftp-backup-using-a-shell-script.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rotate-ftp-backup-using-a-shell-script.html/feed 5 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-duplicate-directory-using-mirrordir-command.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-duplicate-directory-using-mirrordir-command.html#comments Thu, 29 Nov 2007 13:10:39 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-duplicate-directory-using-mirrordir-command.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-duplicate-directory-using-mirrordir-command.html/feed 3 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-wammu-linux-unix-phone-manager.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-wammu-linux-unix-phone-manager.html#comments Thu, 29 Nov 2007 12:25:39 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-wammu-linux-unix-phone-manager.html Edit / delete contacts, todo, calendar etc => Send files => Text (sms) composer for multi part smses => Search phone => Backup etc Phones supported by Gammu: * Nokia DCT3 [...]]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-wammu-linux-unix-phone-manager.html/feed 4 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-fedora-linux-iscsi-howto.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-fedora-linux-iscsi-howto.html#comments Tue, 30 Oct 2007 18:36:35 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-fedora-linux-iscsi-howto.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-fedora-linux-iscsi-howto.html/feed 34 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ssh-rotate-backup-shell-script.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ssh-rotate-backup-shell-script.html#comments Tue, 09 Oct 2007 19:09:00 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ssh-rotate-backup-shell-script.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ssh-rotate-backup-shell-script.html/feed 5 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/backup-postgres-mysql-securely-using-ssh.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/backup-postgres-mysql-securely-using-ssh.html#comments Mon, 01 Oct 2007 04:11:53 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/backup-postgres-mysql-securely-using-ssh.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/backup-postgres-mysql-securely-using-ssh.html/feed 4 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-copy-compressed-drive-image-over-network.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-copy-compressed-drive-image-over-network.html#comments Sun, 12 Aug 2007 10:35:02 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-copy-compressed-drive-image-over-network.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-copy-compressed-drive-image-over-network.html/feed 24 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-mounting-remote-filesystem-using-sshfs.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-mounting-remote-filesystem-using-sshfs.html#comments Wed, 09 May 2007 18:45:55 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-mounting-remote-filesystem-using-sshfs.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-mounting-remote-filesystem-using-sshfs.html/feed 9 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/upgrading-debian-sarga-3-to-etch-4.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/upgrading-debian-sarga-3-to-etch-4.html#comments Sun, 08 Apr 2007 21:40:18 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/upgrading-debian-sarga-3-to-etch-4.html Debian 4.0 has been released.
