Yea, you read that right. Three commands and you can run a pen-test on your website/webserver. So, how?

kelvin@home:~$ sudo apt-get install nikto
kelvin@home:~$ sudo nikto -update
kelvin@home:~$ nikto -h www.thoughtdeposit.net

As you can see, Nikto is a web server scanner, apparently for over 3200 dangerous files/vulnerabilities. Additional features can be seen at the Nikto website, yet you will certainly want to add this old gem to your webserver toolbelt as soon as possible.

In the next year I plan to make a little video, nothing fancy likely, but something that will require an editor. However, I don't own a mac (which rules our Final Cut Pro + After Effect and iMovie, which Ian and I both have had too much fun with. Inside joke.) I'm also a die-hard Linux fan, trying to hold out buying a mac for as long as possible.

SF to the rescure. There are four editors listed, and in the next year I'll try them all. Overalll, they look quite promising.

Jahshaka -- Beta. Good reviews from what I've seen.
Kdenlive -- Alpha/Beta. Looks a lot less mature than Jahshaka, especially since I'm going to have to check it out via svn. But, the screenshots look quite impressive.
LiVES -- Beta.

For those of you not needing Apache and the whole kitchen sink, [insert reason here], Lighttpd is a very attractive contender. For me, it has a small memory footprint, which is highly appealing. However, getting SEO urls to work (i.e. utilizing rewrite), isn't too straightforward.
Tada! A little research yields two helpful links: one at lighttpd.net regarding how to use ModRewrite and another showing how to slightly modify the .htaccess file used by OpenSEF and Apache.
So...
1) Flush/clear any caches available
2) Make sure site is listed in OpenSEFs manager inside Joomla
3) Make sure SEO is Enabled insided the Joomla 'Site Configuration'
4) Change your host conditional statement so it matches this:

$HTTP[\"host\"] =~ \"(^|\\.)yourdomainname\\.com$\" {
     server.document-root = \"/var/www/your/domainlocation/\"
     url.rewrite-once = (
          \"^images*\\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png)\" => \"$0\",
          \"^/administrator.*$\" => \"$0\",
          \"^/mambots.*$\" => \"$0\",
          \"(/|\\.htm|\\.php|\\.html|/[^.]*)$\" => \"/index.php\"
     )
}

Clear your browser cache, and check it out. If it doesn't work, you can try to "Delete All" URLs inside OpenSEF, and then your site will rebuild as necessary. Another note, as you can maybe tell by the above ruleset: you can have rewrite ignore directories. Just include:

\"^/directory.*$\" => \"$0\",

I'll admit, I think one of the thickest barriers to entry regarding Linux is variety. I love variety, but general end users don't adjust well to change (IMHO). Thus enter the stage: Portland. So, what does this mean to the end user? This means that, eventually, the UI throughout linux will all look similar -- regardless if it is designed to utilize GTK, QT or anything else (that is, if it is built off the Portland standard).

Sweeeet.

And as a runner-up, worth mentioning, the user driven Tango Desktop Project

I like most standards, I can't deny it. One thing that I find too humorous is the amount of sites that are not valid, even sites that claim they are. One tool in my box is HTML Validator, an extensioin for Firefox. A nice little icon appears in the lower right, indicating whether a page is valid, not-so-valid, or really-not-so-valid. Makes it easy to check your own sites, and others.
