IBM has published the following technical articles, tutorials, and downloads on its developerWorks Website. They cover a range of interesting (though not necessarily embedded) technical topics, primarily related to Linux and open source system development. Some require free registration. Enjoy . . . !

• Load Linux on the Mac mini – The Mac mini is an ideal low-cost, high-performance PowerPC development platform for numerous applications. Learn how to install and configure Linux on the mini. Future articles will add the software required to make it into a stand-alone multimedia appliance.
• Rapid Prototyping using OS X Tools – In a continuing look at the Mac mini as an embedded development platform, this article shows how to rapidly prototype a simple application, looking at the variety of tools and glue available natively in Mac OS X.
• Linux Stateful Firewall Design – Daniel Robbins, President/CEO of Gentoo Technologies, Inc shows you how to use netfilter to set up a powerful Linux stateful firewall. By completing this tutorial, you will understand how Linux stateful firewalls are put together, and you'll have several example configurations to use in your own projects.
• Get ahead, by knowing how to move back a step – CVS, the Concurrent Versions System, is used by developers around the world to develop software in a flexible and collaborative manner. Whether you'd like to use CVS to check out the latest sources of a particular software package, or whether you'd like to begin using CVS as a full-fledged developer, this tutorial will get both general users and new developers up to speed quickly.
• Cool Clothes Make the Geek – If you are what you wear, then based on the processor-based wardrobe designed by these readers, you may be in trouble! This article challenges you to develop the most outlandish, outrageous chip-controlled clothing you can.
• Solaris to Linux migration step-by-step workplan – Two DB skills are better than one and can expand your potential compensation scale. If you've had experience with Oracle and now are starting or want to learn DB2 Universal Database, this article will help you leverage your previous experience and put you on the fast track for learning how to move data from one machine to another, or from one platform to another.
• Thinking about porting projects from Solaris to Linux on x86? – Among the flavors of UNIX, Solaris is considered to be the closest to Linux, so before starting a port of large Unix-based application to Linux, the operating system-dependent code is generally picked up from Solaris. But for migration purposes, differences can arise in the areas that depend on the architecture, memory maps, threading, or some specific areas like system administration or natural language support.
• Avoid a man in the middle (MITM) attack – Securing the handshake during a Secure Sockets Layer session (SSL) is vital, since almost all of the security involving the connection is set up inside the handshake. Learn how to secure the SSL handshake against a man in the middle (MITM) attack — in which the intruding party masquerades as another, trusted source.
• How to use the new Eclipse plug-in for Apache Geronimo – The Eclipse project has been providing a high-quality and extensible integrated development environment to the open source community for several years now. Get a head start in using the new Geronimo Eclipse plug-in to develop and deploy Web applications to the Apache Geromimo server.
• Fast Linux Web Browsing with a Caching Proxy – This tutorial shows you how to compile, install, and configure oops, an open source, high-performance, multi-threaded Web proxy under Linux. Caching Web proxies are especially useful for 11 from IBM -- performance tuning, Power, USB, Win32 migration...
