The client system (Debian Lenny as well) will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86-64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA. falko Thu, 25 Jun 2009 11:35:11 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/distributed-storage-across-four-storage-nodes-with-glusterfs-on-fedora-12 This tutorial shows how to combine four single storage servers (running Fedora 12) to one large storage server (distributed storage) with GlusterFS.

Apache can be a big offender when it comes to resource usage, so a nice alternative is nginx, a fast, light-weight and efficient http server that supports PHP via PHP-FastCGI. So this is a pretty slick setup for hosting Drupal, and I've taken a few different howtos and forum posts to put together this guide, which should have all you need in one stop, including a working URL rewrite config. falko Thu, 08 Apr 2010 11:42:11 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/etch_postfix_dspam_clamav This article describes how to integrate DSPAM with embedded ClamAV into a mail server based on Postfix featuring virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in a MySQL database. DSPAM is a scalable and open-source content-based spam filter. The setup shown here is suitable for Debian Etch servers. falko Thu, 16 Aug 2007 10:21:20 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/dual_boot_windows_xp_vista_ubuntu_feisty In this tutorial I will teach you how to dual-boot between Windows XP/Vista and Ubuntu. This tutorial will be split up into two parts: Part one for people who have no operating system installed. Part two for people who have Windows XP/Vista installed and do not want to re-install Windows. falko Thu, 19 Jul 2007 15:34:16 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/dualbooting-windows-7-and-linux-mint-12 Dualbooting means having installed two operating systems on one hard disk and being able to boot from any of them. This tutorial will explain how to install Linux Mint 12 alongside Windows 7 - the procedure however should be the same for all Ubuntu based distributions and only slightly different for every other. falko Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:10:15 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/editing-images-with-pinta This article is about how to use the Pinta graphical editor to edit pictures and covers some of its most important features. Pinta is a lightweight image editor for Linux and is far more easier to handle than Gimp but still has a large variety of tools and features to use. It can be used for quick editing like resizing images or adjusting the colours of photographs, but also for more professional tasks which depend on layered images and more. It is a good mixture between MS Paint and professional image editing tools and is recommendable for most purposes of image-editing-everyday-use. falko Tue, 11 Oct 2011 08:01:16 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/popfile_ubuntu_feisty This article shows how you can install and use POPFile to classify incoming emails on an Ubuntu Feisty Fawn desktop. It is a POP3 proxy that fetches your mails from your mail server, classifies them and passes them on to your email client. Of course, POPFile must be trained to properly classify emails. falko Tue, 31 Jul 2007 16:49:28 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/embedding-python-in-apache2-with-mod_python-debian-ubuntu-fedora-centos-mandriva-opensuse This tutorial shows how to install and use mod_python on various distributions (Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora/CentOS, Mandriva, OpenSUSE) with Apache2. mod_python is an Apache module that embeds the Python interpreter within the server. It allows you to write web-based applications in Python that will run many times faster than traditional CGI and will have access to advanced features such as ability to retain database connections and other data between hits and access to Apache internals. falko Tue, 22 Jul 2008 09:46:22 GMT
