This tutorial will guide you how to install and configure VPN PPTP in Debian Etch. The installation is straightforward.
Note: Make sure that your VPN Server has two Network Interface Card (NIC). One for Outside Interface (where the public IP is configured) and the other is INSIDE interface (where your LAN IP is configured)
Introduction
What is PPTP? Short for Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol, a new technology for creating Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) , developed jointly by Microsoft Corporation, U.S. Robotics, and several remote access vendor companies, known collectively as the PPTP Forum. A VPN is a private network of computers that uses the public Internet to connect some nodes. Because the Internet is essentially an open network, the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is used to ensure that messages transmitted from one VPN node to another are secure. With PPTP, users can dial in to their corporate network via the Internet.
PPTP is known to be less secure than other VPN software, but if you need a quick solution for a VPN server that will connect out of the box from Windows workstations PPTP is the obvious choice. This post will show how easy it is to setup a pptp vnp server on Debian Etch.

This tutorial will show you how to install OpenVZ in Debian Etch System. The installation is straightforward and you can just do copy and paste.
Introduction: What is OpenVZ
From the website:
OpenVZ is container-based virtualization for Linux. OpenVZ creates multiple secure, isolated containers (otherwise known as VEs or VPSs) on a single physical server enabling better server utilization and ensuring that applications do not conflict. Each container performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server; a container can be rebooted independently and have root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files. For more information about the technology and how it differs from the others like Xen, VMware etc., see introduction to virtualization, doc/openvz-intro.pdf (73 KB) or wikipedia:OpenVZ.
OpenVZ is free open source software, available under GNU GPL.
OpenVZ is the basis of Parallels Virtuozzo Containers, a commercial virtualization solution offered by Parallels. OpenVZ project is supported by Parallels.
