Reiser5 announces support for selective file migration

Submitted by

Eduard Shishkin implemented support for selective file migration in Reiser5.

Hosting a website on a home router

Submitted by

In this article I want to share my experience of turning a home router from a highly functional device into an almost full-fledged server.
