How To Set Up Database Replication In MySQL On Ubuntu 9.10
==========================================================

This tutorial describes how to set up database replication in MySQL. MySQL replication allows you to have an exact copy of a database from a master server on another server (slave), and all updates to the database on the master server are immediately replicated to the database on the slave server so that both databases are in sync. This is not a backup policy because an accidentally issued DELETE command will also be carried out on the slave; but replication can help protect against hardware failures though.

High-Availability Storage With GlusterFS On Ubuntu 9.10 - Automatic File Replication (Mirror) Across Two Storage Servers
========================================================================================================================

This tutorial shows how to set up a high-availability storage with two storage servers (Ubuntu 9.10) that use GlusterFS. Each storage server will be a mirror of the other storage server, and files will be replicated automatically across both storage servers. The client system (Ubuntu 9.10 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.

Distributed Storage Across Four Storage Nodes With GlusterFS On Ubuntu 9.10
===========================================================================

This tutorial shows how to combine four single storage servers (running Ubuntu 9.10) to one large storage server (distributed storage) with GlusterFS. The client system (Ubuntu 9.10 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.

OpenSUSE 11.2 Samba Standalone Server With tdbsam Backend
=========================================================

This tutorial explains the installation of a Samba fileserver on OpenSUSE 11.2 and how to configure it to share files over the SMB protocol as well as how to add users. Samba is configured as a standalone server, not as a domain controller. In the resulting setup, every user has his own home directory accessible via the SMB protocol and all users have a shared directory with read-/write access.

Dansguardian Content Filtering With Transparent Proxy On Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic
===========================================================================

This tutorial explains how you can add content filtering to an existing Ubuntu 9.10 system, and how you can prevent users from bypassing the filtering system. We will use Dansguardian content filtering to set up a transparent proxy.

Setting Up Freeswitch On Debian 5 (Lenny)
=========================================

FreeSWITCH is an open-source telephony platform designed to facilitate the creation of voice and chat driven products scaling from a soft-phone up to a soft-switch. It can be used as a simple switching engine, a PBX, a media gateway or a media server to host IVR applications using simple scripts or XML to control the callflow.

How To Set Up Apache2 With mod_fcgid And PHP5 On Ubuntu 9.10
============================================================

This tutorial describes how you can install Apache2 with mod_fcgid and PHP5 on Ubuntu 9.10. mod_fcgid is a compatible alternative to the older mod_fastcgi. It lets you execute PHP scripts with the permissions of their owners instead of the Apache user.
