Virtual Filesystem: Building a
Linux Filesystem from an Ordinary File
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/souptonuts/README_Virtual_FS.html?download
You can take a disk file, format it as ext2, ext3, or reiser
filesystem and then mount it, just like a physical drive. Yes,
it then possible to read and write files to this newly mounted
device. You can also copy the complete filesystem, since it is
just a file, to another computer. If security is an issue, read
on. This article will show you how to encrypt the filesystem, and
mount it with ACL (Access Control Lists), which give you rights
beyond the traditional read (r) write (w) and execute (x) for the
3 user groups file, owner and other.

Email on Home Linux Box
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/souptonuts/README_COMCAST_EMAIL.txt?download
Suppose you have accounts on your home Linux system that differ
from the name of your email accounts from your ISP. For instance,
my email account (from Comcast) is mchirico but the account I
have on my Linux box is chirico. What I wanted to do, is use the
local chirico account to get, create, send, email automatically as
mchirico@comcast.net. This article will show you how to do that.
Common Scripts
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/souptonuts/README_common_script_commands.html?download
Automating FTP, generating email alerts, sending GPG encrypted
email from the command prompt with the appropriate "pgp-encrypted"
mime types, and running MySQL from the command without exposing
passwords, are all detailed in this article.
Sorry for the long listing. Hopefully, it will display correctly.
