timer ?

2011-08-07 Thread betty 
Anyone out there know of a timer that I can use with Ubuntu 10.04. I am 
doing online work for people and right now am writing down the start and 
stop times then converting them into hrs and min for my billing. I know 
my palm has one, but then i'd have to be messing with that too. (no i am 
not a lawyer).

thanks !!

If you are already an Emacs user org-mode has the ability to track time
spent on projects or with clients. Also, Remember can handle client
phones and track billing for them.

I've got a VPS, now what M's should I RTF?

2011-08-07 Thread Steven 
As the subject line says, I now have a bright shiny new (small) virtual 
private server. For the moment I've done what seems the most obvious 
first step: getting it set up to log in using SSH and a non-root account 
so I have to sudo before most easily shooting myself in the foot. The 
second step being to go for advice without mentioning company names or 
IP addresses in the same email as what would otherwise amount to, "Hi 
I'm a newbie admin, easy box to crack here." :}


As I do consider RTFM do be a decent answer, does anyone have some 
preferred, "How not to be an idiot with your new VPS," guides?


As for what I plan to do with it I will probably start with having an 
outside the apartment place to keep a copy of things I'm putting under 
version control, and then some lightweight personal web serving.

what Russ said +1
transition sshd to listening on a high/non-standard port +1
AIDE (or tripwire or samhain) done from a remote system +1
