I see the July 2009 issue of "Linux Journal" includes the article
"Hacking Your Portable Linux Server" by Federico Lucifredi.
Congratulations on getting it published.

I'd include a link to it, but Linux Journal has a policy of delaying
the free publication of articles online. They don't even have the July
issue online for subscribers yet. But if your patient (currently the
April issue is available for free), it'll eventually show up here:
