Stuff some guy always installs on debian

The stuff I always install on a Debian box « boltblog Sitting here installing a brand new box, I look through what I use on other machines and figure out a list of things I want to have installed on any box I'm on. Here's the list so far, in no particular order: vim - my favorite text editor  ssh - the secure shell server and client - a must.  realpath - gets the full pathname of a given file. very useful in scripts  autossh - keeps ssh connections open on its own. very useful for ssh tunnels.  sysstat - various performance tools, like mpstat to see the individual cpu usage in an smp setup sudo - allows normal users to execute things as root. mind-bogglingly useful  preload - tracks which applications are frequently used and tries to keep them in memory to improve startup times  lshw - prints way more information about your machine than you really need  sysv-rc-conf - a nice tool to set at which runlevels the machine should start and stop s...

Google Groups and Zend Framework

Zend Framework allows you to interact with Google Lists ..  see below I have to check this out, is this the same as Google Groups ? Interacting with email lists Email lists allow several users to retrieve email addressed to a single email address. Users do not need to be a member of this domain in order to subscribe to an email list provided their complete email address (including domain) is used. Each email list on a domain is represented as an instance of Zend_Gdata_Gapps_EmailListEntry. Creating an email list Email lists can be created by calling the createEmailList() convenience method: $gdata->createEmailList('friends'); Email lists can also be created by instantiating EmailListEntry, providing a name for the list, then calling insertEmailList() on a service object to upload the entry to the server. $list = $gdata->newEmailListEntry(); $list->emailList = $gdata->newEmailList('friends'); $list = $gdata->insertEmailList($list);
