Faster Netbeans startup

There are two easy ways for faster Netbeans startup

1. Un-install/Deactivate ununsed plugin from Tool|Plugin Menu

2. Go to /etc/conf and open netbeans.conf file, change the Java Heap size there

change -J-Xms32m To -J-Xms512m

anonymous upload using vsftpd

Alright. I need to run an FTP server on my UBUNTU slice @ slicehost. The content is not very sensitive so I am okay with anonymous login but with a password. I had to make some changes to the default /etc/vsftpd.conf to make it work. My requirement is to allow anonymous users to upload content and then that content should be readable by other local accounts (change file permissions after vsftpd has uploaded them)

To allow anonymous upload and file mode changes with vsftpd on ubuntu I had to make following changes from default install

• create a new directory called pub inside /home/ftp , make sure this directory is writable and not owned by ftp user, see man page of vsftpd
• Adjust file_mode and anon_umask
• Create an email password file

Here is the full configuration file

1:  listen=YES 
2:  anonymous_enable=YES  
3:  write_enable=YES  
4:  anon_upload_enable=YES  
5:  anon_root=/home/ftp

7:  dirmessage_enable=YES  
8:  xferlog_enable=YES

10:  ftpd_banner=Welcome to indigloo art FTP service.  
11:  secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd  
12:  pam_service_name=vsftpd  
13:  rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem  
14:  rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key  
15:  file_open_mode=0777  
16:  anon_umask=022
