Playing poker under Gnome is a relatively hard situation. There are almost no GTK poker clients, and those who are lack many things. The good news is that we can use the Qt based PokerTH just fine!PokerTH has been around for 6 years now making it a mature application that keeps the poker linux fans amuzed. It offers both a local game mode and the ability to play with others over the internet. You can also connect and play with someone else using the IP.

Subject: Trisquel GNU Linux, the “most Free” Gnome Distro
Yeap it is official by FSF Free Software Definition. Fedora isn’t free software. Linux (kernel) isn’t free software. Firefox isn’t Free Software. Pretty much there isn’t Free Software (FS), but we can baptize things by occasion as FS.Trisquel according to FSF is one of the nine distributions that they meet the FSF’s strict guidelines by completely eschewing proprietary components.

Subject: Creating Advanced MySQL-Based Virtual Hosts On Lighttpd (Ubuntu 12.04)
This guide explains how you can create advanced virtual hosts on a lighttpd web server on Ubuntu 12.04 that are stored in a MySQL database. The method described here does not use the lighttpd mod_mysql_vhost module, and unlike mod_mysql_vhost (which allows you to store only the hostname and document root of a vhost in a database), this method allows to store individual configuration directives for each vhost in the MySQL database.
