Requirements
Privileged access to your Ubuntu machine.Steps to follow
Install the prerequisites
In this first stage, let's installgit, curl, libssl-dev, python and build-essential. $ sudo apt install git curl python libssl-dev pkg-config build-essential
Install node.js
Etherpad relies onnode.js. We will install its latest stable version by using the following linux commands: $ wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.9.2/node-v6.9.2-linux-x64.tar.xz $ tar xJf node-v6.9.2-linux-x64.tar.xz $ sudo mkdir /opt/nodejs/ && mv node-v6.9.2-linux-x64/* /opt/nodejs $ echo "PATH=$PATH:/opt/nodejs/bin" >> ~/.profile

Introduction
Whether you want to be able to connect remotely to your corporate network or to construct a virtual network between two remote points, through an unsecure network (eg: Internet), you will somehow need a VPN (Virtual Private Network). A VPN allows you to securely connect to a remote LAN (Local Area Network) through Internet or untrusted networks.SoftEther is an Open Source VPN Server, an alternative to OpenVPN. It's thought to be the world's most powerful and easy-to-user multi-protocol VPN software. Our article concerns how to setup SoftEther on Ubuntu Xenial Xerus Linux.
What you will need
- Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus Linux
- A 30 GB available disk space is recommended
- A root privilege
Conventions
# - requires given linux commands to be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use ofsudo command$ - requires given linux commands to be executed as a regular non-privileged user
> - given command to be executed from vpncmd command line interface
Preparing the server
Upgrade the system:$ sudo apt update $ sudo apt upgradeInstall (if not installed yet)
build-essential for compilation purpose:$ sudo apt install build-essential

Introduction
The latest AMDGPU drivers launched from AMD only a few short days ago bringing changes like FreeSync support and additional support for mobile chipsets as well as the obvious performance improvements.Like the previous versions of the proprietary AMDGPU driver, only "Enterprise Grade" distributions are supported, so you won't find official Ubuntu 16.10 support just yet. Ubuntu 16.04 is continuing to be supported, and that will be the target of this guide.
Getting The Packages
AMD has provided the packages required for the install in a tarball. The reason for a tarball of.deb packages instead of the .run installer of previous AMD drivers is that AMDGPU-PRO functions by providing its own custom versions of key pieces of software needed for the drivers to function properly. AMDGPU-PRO is build ton the open source AMDGPU drivers, and just like those drivers, requires newer versions of Mesa, DRM, and the Kernel. To ensure that these requirements are met, they are provided. You can get the tarball one of two ways. If you prefer to use your browser, go to AMD's website and download the drivers and untar them with your graphical archive manager of choice.
https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Driver-for-Linux-Release-Notes.aspxIf you'd prefer to use the command line,
wget the package directly and untar it from the command line. $ cd ~/Downloads $ wget https://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ubuntu/amdgpu-pro-16.50-362463.tar.xz $ tar -xJvf amdgpu-pro_16.50-362463.tar.xz
