If you are a web developer on PHP and MySQL, probably you needed to define virtual servers on Apache. If you also work on Mac OSX, then a good option to have a development environment fully working and up to dateis MAMP. Alright, in this situation, I recommend you to do this:

Due to specific necessities in a project that dbloop is developing, we need to enable remote access to MySQL database form the other machines in our LAN.

When I bought my new laptop, I decided to give the old one to my father-in-law (that is 65) in order to introduce him on computers. He had bought a digital camera (after two years in doubt) and he was in need of a computer to download and organize his photos.

I told him to install Ubuntu. but their friends, also photography lovers, told him to install Windows and Photoshop because they use them. I accepted, but rejected to do the installation, so their friends did it.

On November 8, 2007 the new the Fedora Linux "distro" has been released.

Numbered Fedora 8, it seems to have a lot of improvements and new features like Online Desktop, Codec Budy (to download the right codecs for audio and video players), Pulse Audio, improved network manager (specially for wifi networks), Compiz Fusion (3D desktop effects for linux), better Power Management and also better package management.

Last days, I have been looking for a way to install GNU gettext utilities on Mac OS X. I need them to manage translations for a new software a recently began to develop using PHP. Finally, after a few hours, I found what I was looking for, it is a site called Rudix, UNIX software packages for Mac OS X.
