This procedure was performed on a 32bit OS (Micro instance) but may also work with little or no modification. Drop me a note if you get this to work on a 64bit without modification.

1. First you need to install pre-reqs

apt-get install gcc autoconf libevent-dev libxml2-dev  libssl-dev libpcre++-dev libbz2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libgmp3-dev libmysql++-dev libmcrypt-dev

I modified the original script to include another check. So the script now checks for two things. First, it checks for candidates having a high percentage of votes and second, it checks for low percentage of votes in a position as compared to the total of people you actually voted. See example below:

• You need a feature that only the newer kernel supports
• You came across a bug which is fixed in the newer version
• You have a device driver that needs kernel recompile either as a module or compiled with the kernel
• You are bored

1. Update apt sources
2. Install the necessary pre-requisites
3. Get the kernel source
4. Compile
5. Install the kernel and modules
6. Reboot with the new kernel

I recently got i nice piece of hardware and I love it. It is intended for a VoIP asterisk server but I took the liberty of testing it first with common operating system (Windows XP, Ubuntu). Here is what I got.

I compiled a small set of commands for the svn newbie like me. I will update this post whenever needed as I am still learning it myself.

# Create a repository
svnadmin create d:\repos\dbf2009

# Import initial files to repository
svn import -m "Initial Import" DBF2009 svn://ip.address/dbf2009 --username harry

# Checkout
svn co svn://ip/reponame

#checkout from same machine
svn co file:///e:/repos/dbf2009

# Update working copy (local copy)
svn update

# See overview of changed files (comparison from .svn)
svn status

# See defailed info of cahnged files (comparison from server)
svn status -u -v

# Commit changes to svn server
svn commit -m "testing lang"

# See defailed diff
svn diff

# Schedule addition of a file or directory
svn add 

# Rename a repository
# There is no rename command, create a new repo, create a dump file from the old repo,
# load the dump file to the new repo. Don't forget to fix permissions in config directory
svnadmin create /path/to/new/repository/
svnadmin dump /the/path/to/old/repository/ > old-repo.dump
svnadmin load /the/path/to/new/repository/ < old-repo.dump

• At least two hard-disk drives; IDE, small computer system interface (SCSI), or mixed architecture is permissible.
• The second drive must be at least the size of the volume on which the operating system boot and system files reside to permit mirroring.
• The Windows Server 2003 system and boot files must reside on the same volume to be mirrored.

Converting to Dynamic Disks

Steps:

1. Right click on My Computer on your desktop and click Manage. Under Storage, click Disk Management.

2. Right click on Disk0 and choose Convert to Dynamic Disk...

3. Tick Disk0 and Disk1 and click OK.

4. Review the disks to be converted, click Convert to proceed.

5. The next menu is a warning that other operating systems installed on any volumes on any disks can no longer start. Make sure that you are not dual booting other operating systems. Click Yes to proceed.

6. Now for the final confirmation. Click Yes to proceed.

7. Click OK when prompted. This will restart your server.

8. At this point, new drivers where installed to support the dynamic disks. You will now be prompted to restart - AGAIN.

9. That completes the process of converting to dynamic disks. You can now proceed to adding actual mirror.

Adding the Mirror

On my primary drive, I have setup pre-setup two partitions. One for the operating system and program files and another for my data. We are going to mirror both.

1. Go to Disk Management as described in the previous process.

2. Right click on the first partition and click Add Mirror..

3. Select the second drive (Disk 1), then click Add Mirror.

4. The partition will now sync to the second drive. Notice that the mirrored partition will now be color coded. It will look something like this.

5. Repeat the same step to the second partition.

When the sync-ing process is done. You now have a RAID 1 system when means, you have 1 parity. Your data is safe even if 1 drive fails.

Part 2 of this mini HOW TO will discuss on how to recover from a failed drive.

# Redirect port all http traffic to a local proxy server

# IPNAT

# Some traffic shapping
