We are looking at getting some original articles published on Forever Geek and figured we would open this up to the community. In particular I am really interested in Anime Reviews, but you can look at the sidebar to see what categories we are accepting articles for. Geek Articles are anything that you think geeks [...]

Researchers have moved a little bit closer to the day when new teeth can be grown to replace damaged or missing teeth.

Again they are testing them on rats so not only will I be able to get new teeth, but I can also go through a block of cheese in no time flat.

In this article I am going to show you how to quickly set up your computer for simple, hassle-free, and transparent backups using only rsync and cron (or Anacron).

A 9 page comparison of these three distros for anyone in the market to check out something new.

In this article I deal with a complex Subversion repository deployment and show how security concerns can be addressed from a system administrator’s point-of-view.

If you are doing any type of software development you should be using a versioning control system. I am even thinking about using one just for developing websites so that I [...]

If you are dying to read a detailed overview of the PCI Express architecture, but just can’t find it, well guess what? I have it for you. Yes after long hard searching *cough* I have found a great overview of PC Express.
