Need to access a MSSQL database from php on Linux? The remi repository has php-mssql and all the dependencies.  Look for the yum configuration link on the home page.  Very easy.

They also have a link to an IT asset management program called GPLI, I haven’t used it but the demo looks pretty nice.  The functionality seems to be there, but interface could use a little polishing, IMHO.

Because sitting in front of a computer and installing with media is so 90s, I provide these two links. There are many other places that describe the same thing.

If you haven’t used screen yet, then you should really check it out. It’s great for running those long jobs (or bittorrent, for legit purposes of course) and coming back to it at a later time. Anyway I always wished that I could share a screen session with another user. Well I should have read the man file because it is already there.

screen -x Attach to a not detached screen. (Multi display mode).

Now if they would just allow scrolling back through the history with <shift><pgup>.
