Sometimes, you can have duplicate entries if you have not an unique index on the row.

Once you have done it, your duplicated entries will be deleted. Then you can remove the unique index.

ALTER IGNORE TABLE tablename ADD UNIQUE INDEX (column1, column2);

But first, what's Pure-FTPd ?
Pure-FTPd is a FTP server. An FTP server (File Transfer Protocol) allows you to efficiently and securely share files between distant machines without being dependant of the machine's file systems.
Pure-FTPd is one of the easiest to install and use FTP server I have found, based on Troll-FTPd.
But in case you want to learn more about Pure-FTPd, Google is your friend ;)

Finally, after Toy Story (1995) and Toy Story 2 (2000), the long awaited upcoming 2010 computer-animated 3-D film being produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney, Toy Story 3, will be released in 2010 !
Here is the plot :
Andy is now a young adult, departing for college, and his toys, including Woody and Buzz Lightyear are being sent to storage. Andy has a change of heart and decides to keep Woody. Before the rest of the toys can be put in the attic, they are accidentally thrown away and are picked up by the garbage men. The toys find themselves at a local day-care center, where they must try to survive the pre-school children. Woody attempts to save his friends and find themselves a new home.
The film's first teaser trailer was released with the Disney Digital 3-D version of the film Up on May 29, 2009. On October 2, 2009 Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were re-released as a double feature in Disney Digital 3-D.

A videogame is to be expected as well !

At first I didn't understand, I properly installed Apache2, MySQL and PhpMyAdmin on my new server, but PhpMyAdmin wouldn't get to work...
2 months passed, and I found the solution, ahem, shame on me... I actually didn't create the symbolic link to make it work...
Sometimes, the tiniest thing can make the biggest mess, so here is the faulty line I didn't write :
Oh, what a surprise, it works... MEGA-AHEM
