Installing A Web, Email And MySQL Database Cluster (Mirror) On Debian 5.0 With ISPConfig 3
==========================================================================================

This tutorial describes the installation of a clustered Web, Email, Database and DNS server to be used for redundancy, high availability and load balancing on Debian 5 with the ISPConfig 3 control panel. GlusterFS will be used to mirror the data between the servers and ISPConfig for mirroring the configuration files. I will use a setup of two servers here for demonstration purposes but the setup can scale to a higher number of servers with only minor modifications in the GlusterFS configuration files.

How To Upgrade OpenSUSE 11.2 To 11.3 (Desktop & Server)
=======================================================

This guide shows how you can upgrade your OpenSUSE 11.2 desktop and server installations to OpenSUSE 11.3.

Installing Nginx With PHP5 And MySQL Support On OpenSUSE 11.3
=============================================================

Nginx (pronounced "engine x") is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server. Nginx is known for its stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. This tutorial shows how you can install Nginx on an OpenSUSE 11.3 server with PHP5 support (through FastCGI) and MySQL support.

Caching With Apache's mod_cache On Debian Lenny
===============================================

This article explains how you can cache your web site contents with Apache's mod_cache on Debian Lenny. If you have a high-traffic dynamic web site that generates lots of database queries on each request, you can decrease the server load dramatically by caching your content for a few minutes or more (that depends on how often you update your content).

Integrating XCache Into PHP5 And Lighttpd (OpenSUSE 11.2)
=========================================================

This guide explains how to integrate XCache into PHP5 and lighttpd on an OpenSUSE 11.2 system. From the XCache project page: "XCache is a fast, stable PHP opcode cacher that has been tested and is now running on production servers under high load." It's similar to other PHP opcode cachers, such as eAccelerator and APC.

Installing Linux Integration Services v2.1 Hyper-V R2 On CentOS 5
=================================================================

When installed on a virtual machine that is running a supported Linux operating system, Linux Integration Services for Hyper-V provides the following functionality: - Driver support for synthetic devices: Linux Integration Services supports the synthetic network controller and the synthetic storage controller that were developed specifically for Hyper-V. - Fastpath Boot Support for Hyper-V: Boot devices now take advantage of the block Virtualization Service Client (VSC) to provide enhanced performance. - Timesync: The clock inside the virtual machine will remain synchronized with the clock on the host. - Integrated Shutdown: Virtual machines running Linux can be shut down from either Hyper-V Manager or System Center Virtual Machine Manager, using the "Shut Down" command. - Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) Support: Supported Linux distributions can use up to 4 virtual processors (VP) per virtual machine.
