Skype
What is skype?
Skype is software that allows users to make telephone calls over the Internet. Calls to other users of the service are free of charge, while calls to landlines and cell phones can be made for a fee. Additional features include instant messaging, file transfer and video conferencing.

Installing Skype
If you've ever tried to install Skype on a 64bit linux platform, you would have noticed that there is no 64bit version of Skype available. A quick work-around will let you install and setup Skype easily by using 32bit packages that are required by the 32bit version of Skype as well as forcing the installation of 32bit Skype on a 64bit platform.

In this tutorial we will walk you through a quick install of this on Ubuntu 8.04 64bit.

Truecrypt is one of the best and easiest way to keep your data safe.
Truecypt


Main Features:

* Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.

* Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.

* Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).

* Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.

* Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:

1) Hidden volume (steganography – more information may be found here).

2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).

* Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of operation: XTS.

In this tutorial we will walk you through a quick install of this on your Ubuntu 8.04 Server.

IRC Pound
If you've ever wondered how those big IRC Networks get those detailed channel stat pages, then now is your chance to find out.

PISG is an IRC channel statics generator written in Perl, it creates statistics from different logfile formats. It was originally written because IRCStats wasn't open source. So here's an open source/GPL'ed version to anyone interested. It's a funny thing for your IRC channel, and it's highly customizeable.

Check out our PISG Channel stats page!

Supported logfile formats:

* X-Chat * mIRC * mIRC6 * Eggdrops * bxlog for BitchX * irssi

* virc98 * dancer * Trillian * Grufti * mbot * winbot

* zcbot * muh * energymech * ircII * psybnc * ircle

* infobot * axur * bobot * oer * perlbot * Vision

* pircbot * KVIrc * HydraIRC * sirc * moobot * supybot

* blootbot * dircproxy

In this article, we walk you through a entire setup of a basic PISG Channel stats generator for your TCL Enabled Eggdrop. If you're not familiar with what an Eggdrop is, check out our Article on Eggdrops. You will need a tested and running Eggdrop for this installation.

CDRecord
Sure it's easy to burn ISO images with Ubuntu Linux, but have you ever tried to burn a .bin / .cue image? It's not as easy as a right click, it takes a nice little program called cdrecord and a simple executable line in terminal.

Cdrecord is a free recording program for CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray disks. Cdrtools is a suite of programs bundled together and containing, amongst others, cdrecord. Cdrecord started as a single program in February 1996 (written from scratch after a Solaris port from the Linux program cdwrite has been thrown away). Short time later, a cooperation started with other related programs (mkisofs and cdda2wav). These programs then have been bundled with cdrecord and finally in 2001, the compilation archive has been renamed to cdrtools.

You may choose to install the cdrtools suite, but in this example, we will be working with cdrecord primarily.

Read on to see how you can burn your cue / bin

What is an IRC bot?

An IRC bot is a program that sits in an IRC channel around the clock, keeping it open 24 hours a day. It looks just like a normal user on the channel, but is usually idle until it's called upon to perform a particular function. A bot can contribute greatly to the stability of a channel by protecting it from takeovers and abusers, and providing a central location for storage of the channel op list and giving ops to those users when they join the channel. It can also perform many other useful functions, such as logging channel events, providing frequently-requested information, hosting trivia games, and so on. IRC bots are particularly important on IRC networks without channel registration services, such as EFnet and IRCnet, and on networks that may prevent your channel being registered due to certain registration requirements, such as Undernet. On these networks, keeping a channel running smoothly without some kind of IRC bot would often be impossible.

There are many types of bots out there, such as Acidblood, ComBot, EnergyMech, IncuBot, HackBot, and so on. Most of these are old and unsupported, leaving only one bot that has survived the test of time - the Eggdrop.

What is an Eggdrop?

Eggdrop is the most advanced, most popular, and best supported IRC bot. If you've never used a bot before, you'll find Eggdrop provides a staggering array of options for channel management, and can easily be expanded further to provide even more functions. The Eggdrop code is free for anyone to download and use. Some of the main features of Eggdrop include:
- Support for multiple channels.

- An advanced, flexible userfile structure.

- The 'party line', a unique feature accessed by DCC chat which allows you to speak to others connected to the bot's party line, and is also used as a console where you can control and use most of Eggdrop's features.

- Botnet support, allowing you to link multiple bots to create a 'botnet' and synchronise userfiles with automatic userfile sharing.

- Multi-language support, with English, German and French included.

- Support for Tcl scripts and modules, allowing you to easily add extra features to the bot.

Eggdrop is the world's most popular Open Source IRC bot, designed for flexibility and ease of use, and is freely distributable under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Eggdrop was originally developed by Robey Pointer; however, he no longer works on Eggdrop so please do not contact him for help solving a problem or bug.

Some features of Eggdrop:

* Designed to run on Linux, *BSD, SunOs, Windows, Mac OS X, etc ...
* Extendable with Tcl scripts and/or C modules
* Support for the big six IRC networks (OMGIRC, Undernet, DALnet, EFnet, IRCnet, and QuakeNet)
* The ability to form botnets and share partylines and userfiles between bots

Some benefits of Eggdrop:

* The oldest IRC bot still in active development (Eggdrop was created in 1993)
* Established IRC help channels and web sites dedicated to Eggdrop
* Thousands of premade Tcl scripts and C modules
* Best of all ... It's FREE!
