Many businesses, including "mom and pop shops" want to use this new thing called social marketing, but don't know where to start. This article will focus on the Social Media side of the issue. While the details are different with SEO or Search Engine Optimization, the general concept is still the same- great results can happen but expect to either pay thousands of dollars on a campaign or so much time that you can't get your core business done. However, even if it isn't your main push, it needs to be addressed to some degree.

You run "Chkrootkit" on a server and get a list of rootkits and signs of rootkits and some of the lines say you are infected or that you have a suspicious file on your system. What do you do?

If you have a shell or SSH access to your database server, you can backup the database using mysqldump. By default, the output of the command will dump the contents of the database in SQL statements to your console. Here are some tips on how to get special results such as over a SSH connection,
