The m23 Online Demo allows you to take a look at many areas of the m23 administration interface without having to install m23. This way, you'll get a much better impression of the abilities of the program than screenshots alone can convey.

This is just a demonstration without function. Most links and icons are clickable, but buttons and forms will not work.

The m23 Online Demo was created as a snapshot of the interface of an m23 server with some imported m23 clients using HTTrack.

Enjoy!

As you may already have noticed, the website of the m23 project has been redesigned :-)

For comparison, take a look at the screenshot of the old page design.

Doesn't the new page look a lot better now? It also features automatical adaptation to different screen sizes and doesn't even require any JavaScript.

Now this page should also look good on devices with less resolution (e.g. mobile phones).

Enjoy!

Unfortunately, the SourceForge server "switch.dl.sourceforge.net", which m23 used as a package source for the m23-specific client installation packages is no longer available, resulting in failing client installations with m23 <= 14.2 .

For the new m23 version 15.1, which is scheduled to be released next week, this package source is now the new server "kent.dl.sourceforge.net".

As the release process for the new version is almost concluded, it would be difficult to provide an update for version 14.2, which adjusts the package sources lists to contain the new mirror.

Please adjust the package sources lists you are using via the menu item "Package Sources List" in the m23 interface. Replace "switch.dl.sourceforge.net" in the lists by "kent.dl.sourceforge.net" and save the list under the same name.

This year, we've been at the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage (March 21-22) for the first time :-)

Beforehand, everyone who had already been there told us that this event was one of the best. After those two days we spent there, we can confirm this emphatically. It worked out wonderfully and was very well organized. We would like to praise and thank everyone who made this happen. Keep going :-)

We'd also like to thank our T-shirt sponsor getDigital.de, who again supported our project by supplying geeky T-shirts for our lotteries on both days :-) The winners were obviously very happy.

We were also pleasantly surprised by the big number of visitors and the many interesting conversations. The Linux-Tage at Chemnitz have preserved the community atmosphere which was common to many Linux-Tage in the past™. They are proof that big Linux events still have a right to exist, even if most information is available via the internet at any time.

Thanks to the good organization of the premises by the team of the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage, all participants in the workshop "Administration of & Co. in text mode" could partake in a concentrated and efficient way. But not only did the participants learn something during the workshop, also Hauke was able to collect a bunch of ideas for the next run of the workshop.

Have fun and maybe we'll meet again at Chemnitz in 2016!

We are happy to be part of the Chemnitzer Linux-Tagen (21.3. und 22.3.) with an m23 booth for the first time :-)

At our booth, we will demonstrate m23 (live) on virtual machines and will be answering all your questions and be available for technical discussions. So if you always wanted to know why your enterprise / organisation etc. really needs to use m23, visit us at our booth ;-)
If our booth is big enough (tbd), we will also bring our Tux Droid Quiz (Watch video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2TeivPwwGY), which allows you to demonstrate your vast knowledge about Linux, m23 and penguins.
And it may just be that we also bring m23 rock 15.1 (containing a completely reworked partitioning and formatting API) :-)

On Sunday, March 22 2015, you can take advantage of participating in Hauke's workshop "Administration von Debian & Co. im Textmodus" (administration of Debian and its derivatives in text mode). As there is only a limited number of seats available, you should hurry to reserve yours! ;-) Reservation deadline is on March, 13th 2015.
Further info (room etc.) and the reservation form can be found at Administration von Debian & Co. im Textmodus.
Even if this time, we have a full 3 hours time for the workshop, please prepare for it so we can use the available time efficiently. In the workshop pdf, especially read the section "Workshopvorbereitungen", so we won't spend our valuable time downloading and setting up the Debian admin workshop appliance. It may be that the three hours are sufficiently long to completely follow the workshop manual, but just in case, make note of which parts are of special importance to you. If time becomes an issue, we will only train the most desired parts. The workshop will be held in German. If necessary, small explanations in English can be added.

This workshop is addressed to everyone who has to / wants to work with Debian or Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, ...) in some way or other. For the workshop, it is not important whether you want to administer your home server or desktop, your virtual server for your home page or the machines at your workplace.

We will focus on administration using the command line tools, as those don't only allow you to get a deeper understanding of your distribution, but they also allow to administer the system in case of a severe problem and to fix that problem. And of course, it's just good practice for an administrator to have some (at least basic) knowledge of the administration options on the command line.

We will cover the following topics (and more): network configuration, software management as well as identifying errors (and fixing them). The frequently occurring cases "repair broken boot manager" and the classical problem "lost password" will of course also be practised together.

This workshop is based upon 19 years of practicale experience with Linux, and 13 years of them with Debian.

Please bring the following: laptop with VirtualBox installed, and imported Debian admin workshop appliance, as well as a working WiFi (if possible, additionally network card + cable) and the workshop PDF.

Have fun - and hope to see you soon in Chemnitz!
