The Perfect SpamSnake - Ubuntu Jeos 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
==========================================================

This tutorial shows how to set up an Ubuntu Jeos based server as a spamfilter in Gateway mode. In the end, you will have a SpamSnake Gateway which will relay clean emails to your MTA. You will also be able to view your incoming queue, train your SpamSnake and carry out a few more advanced operations via Baruwa.

Installing KVM Guests With virt-install On Ubuntu 10.10 Server
==============================================================

Unlike virt-manager, virt-install is a command line tool that allows you to create KVM guests on a headless server. You may ask yourself: "But I can use vmbuilder to do this, why do I need virt-install?" The difference between virt-install and vmbuilder is that vmbuilder is for creating Ubuntu-based guests, whereas virt-install lets you install all kinds of operating systems (e.g. Linux, Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD) and distributions in a guest, just like virt-manager. This article shows how you can use it on an Ubuntu 10.10 KVM server.

Installing Lighttpd With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Ubuntu 10.10
===============================================================

Lighttpd is a secure, fast, standards-compliant web server designed for speed-critical environments. This tutorial shows how you can install Lighttpd on an Ubuntu 10.10 server with PHP5 support (through FastCGI) and MySQL support.

Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Fedora 14 (LAMP)
==================================================================

Setting Up An Active/Active Samba CTDB Cluster Using GFS & DRBD (CentOS 5.5)
============================================================================

This article explains how to set up an Active/Active Samba CTDB Cluster, using GFS and DRBD. We use two nodes, both are active nodes, and the requests are loadbalanced. To replicate data between the nodes we use DRBD. To active/active cluster, we must use a ClusterFS (in this case GFS), to make the two nodes to write on the DRBD resource at same time.
