Here’s another great article on how to manage your loads on your web server using linux program “balance”:
Ideally you should install a load balancer on a dedicated machine that can handle all the incoming connections, with a separate network interface for internal and external connections. However, none of this is necessary for the purposes of this article. To start testing balance, download the latest version from the project’s Web site. Unpack it, build it, and install it as follows:
Here’s a good DIY for webmasters looking to expand their websites to handle more traffic with load balancing linux web servers. I have been looking into load-balancing even this site as it’s getting too big to manage with a single server.
All the software required to implement a LAMP cluster ships with most Linux distributions, so it’s easy to implement. We’ll construct a cluster using seven computers for a fictitious company, foo.com. Two servers will run DNS, primary and backup, to distribute Web requests among three Web servers that read and write data from
Well, one of the worst things you can encounter is to individually resize hundreds of images for a future blog post.
I am not sure if Windows or Macs have free software to do this but if you have access to a Linux computer like me, you can get stuff done much faster using Image Magick, a free open-source image auto-resizer also used on many web-platform programs.
I assuming that you have installed Ubuntu Gutsy:
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
After ImageMagick installation, you can use mogrify. For exampl
Call me old school but I tend to like Fedora and Ubuntu for Linux distro of my choice but here’s a good list and explanation of the Top 5 geek’s linux distros.

Here’s a good DIY on how to synchronize online-storage services Dropbox and ZumoDrive on Windows.
Since Dropbox is Linux-compatible yet ZumoDrive isn’t, this might be a great way to synchronize the two if you have to use various different machines.
For me, one the the biggest features of Dropbox is the availability on Linux, which ZumoDrive does not offer. On the other hand, ZumoDrive has a client for iPhone, which Dropbox does not yet have. If I want truly want t
F-aye, someone figured out how to run a full-blown linux desktop on your Android G1 Phone! This is tight, basically you can have a linux desktop machine on your G1 Phone! I think this will do some wonders for other Android devices including the Movit that’s coming soon too.
This will definitely void your warranty though, but you live only once right?
It’s official you can run X-Windows
Here’s Laptop news Roundup for today:
Dell will be releasing their Studio 15 soon, the HD-equipped laptop will come with nice subwoofers which I am having a hard time believing there will be much bass if any.
Gateway has their new laptop line, the TC7306u and TC7307u series. I am not a fan of Gateway laptops but who knows, they might make a come-back soon.
Here’s a quick guide that shows you how to turn your linux box into a streaming media center. It might be helpful for some of you Linux-addicts (like me). Some people were complaining this is GUI but heck, GUI is the next step for Linux so it can go more mainstream, no beginners can deal with Linux command prompt, I believe it’s waaay harder than DOS.
This guide assumes that you have a Linux-based computer available and are ready to begin the installation process immediately. If this is not the case, you should set up a Linux-based
