"kernel: cdrom: open failed" errors noticed in /var/log/messages
Solution:
Edit /etc/hal/hald.conf and change /haldconfig/storage_media_check to false.

The Instant Client libraries used by PHP
access Oracle's current API, called OCI8. (This C interface takes its
name from being first introduced in Oracle8.)
PHP Oracle 8
Functions can call Oracle 8.1.7, 9.x, or 10.x directly, or optional
abstraction classes like PEAR MDB2 and ADOdb can be used for
convenience.
Download the instantclient-basic and instantclient-devel packages from the download page:
1. http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/instantclient/11106/oracle-instantclient-basiclite-11.1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
2. http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/instantclient/11106/oracle-instantclient-devel-11.1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
Install the RPMs and use the following to compile and install PHP
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql --with-zlib --with-gd --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-gd --with-curl --enable-sockets --with-mysqli --with-jpeg --with-zlib --with-png --with-gd --with-curl=/usr/local/curl7 --with-oci8=instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/11.1.0.1/client/lib/
make
make install
To find the inode number of a file, list the directory with the -i option:
ram# ls -i
2064227 test
Use the find command to delete the file by it's inode number:
]]>
find . -inum 2064227 -exec rm {} \;
DO NOT use the GUI installation method. It does not work. It will make you feel really bad for buying this laptop. Worry not. Use the text based installation. Once the installation is complete, it will come up with the GUI with restricted resolution.
Make sure you are connected to the LAN (and of course, you should be connected to the net). (Wifi does not work at this point). It will prompt you to install/use the restricted drivers for nVidia. Say Yes ! It will install the drivers. Reboot. You should have a proper display/resolution now. (It will prompt you to install the "drivers" for broadcom wireless. Do not proceed. They don't work and you won't need them).
Networking
In order to use the Broadcom Wireless card in HP DV2610US (and I think it also works on the recent AMD/Nvidia based laptops), you need to do the following:
echo 'blacklist bcm43xx' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
The blacklisted module will not be loaded on reboot from now on.

1. PocketCM Keyboard: Do you wish you have iPhone-like keyboard on your HTC Touch ? Then look no further. This application nearly replicates the keyboard on iPhone.
2.Skype: Of course. This is an everyday application that you cannot live without. Why tethered to the computer when you can have skype on your mobile (use wifi only. GPRS/Edge might not provide a good experience). Download the PocketPC edition.
3. Total Commander: Are you a power user ? Did you want a better file manager, registry editor, FTP client, network browser ? Total Commander is all these and more. It is easy to use and provides near-total control of your HTC touch/Pocket PC.
Will keep this list updated as and when I find new applications ...

]]>Lets say, we have mydomain.com, and you need to dynamically configure test.mydomain.com, monkey.mydomain.com etc. (and not required to manually configure apache or restart), then..
Step 1: Configure wild-card DNS, so that *.mydomain.com is a cname to mydomain.com
Step 2: Configure apache. Create a new virtualhost section for *.mydomain.com, like:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAlias *.mydomain.com
CustomLog /www/www.logs/virtual.mydomain.com-access_log combined
ErrorLog /www/www.logs/virtual.mydomain.com-error_log
VirtualDocumentRoot /www/www.mydomain.com/virtualdomains/%0/docs
VirtualScriptAlias /www/www.mydomain.com/virtualdomains/%0/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>
Step 3: Restart apache to activate the new configuration
Step 4: Now, say you need test.mydomain.com, all that is required is to create /www/www.mydomain.com/virtualdomains/test.mydomain.com/docs and /www/www.mydomain.com/virtualdomains/test.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/
