<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">Icinga is an open source computer system and network monitoring application. It was originally created as a fork of the Nagios system monitoring application in 2009.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">Icinga is attempting to get past perceived short-comings in Nagios' development process, as well as adding new features such as a modern Web 2.0 style user interface, additional database connectors (for MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL), and a REST API that lets administrators integrate numerous extensions without complicated modification of the Icinga core.</span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">There are several benefits of using a transparent proxy. First of all, for end users, a transparent proxy can enhance their web browsing performance by caching frequently accessed web content, while introducing minimal configuration overhead for them. For administrators, it can be used to enforce various administrative policies such as content/URL/IP filtering, rate limiting, etc.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">A proxy server acts as an intermediary between a client and a destination server. The client sends requests to the proxy server which then evaluates the requests and takes necessary actions. In this tutorial, we will be setting up a web proxy server using Squid, which is a robust, customizable and stable proxy server. Personally, I had administered a Squid server with 400+ client workstations for about a year. Although I had to restart the service about once a month in average, CPU and storage utilization, throughput and client response time were all great.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">The development team attempted to create a program which shows the programmer what the effects of their additions are in real-time, rather than requiring them to work out the effects as they write the code.Though the program began by only supporting Clojure, it has since aimed to support Python and JavaScript due to their popularity. The developers claim that the software can reduce programming time by up to 20%.</span></span></div>

To make it easy to install Light Table IDE in Ubuntu, there’s now a PPA that contains an installer script, which automatically downloads the official Linux package from <a href="http://www.lighttable.com/">its website</a>, installs and creates a launcher shortcut in your system for better Ubuntu integration.</div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
