How To Set Up MySQL Database Replication With SSL Encryption On Ubuntu 9.10
Submitted by falko on Mon, 02/08/2010 - 19:21This tutorial describes how to set up database replication in MySQL using an SSL connection for encryption (to make it impossible for hackers to sniff out passwords and data transferred between the master and slave). MySQL replication allows you to have an exact copy of a database from a master server on another server (slave), and all updates to the database on the master server are immediately replicated to the database on the slave server so that both databases are in sync. This is not a backup policy because an accidentally issued DELETE command will also be carried out on the slave; but replication can help protect against hardware failures.

Submitted by srlinuxx on Sun, 02/07/2010 - 13:33ghacks.net: For many Linux users one area where Linux needs some improvement is money management. Yes there is the very powerful GnuCash, but many users find GnuCash to be too much power for what they need. There is also the slick KMyMoney, but that depends upon KDE.
