New Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)
2008-05-11 06:28:00 This is the way I like with Ubuntu . Its a productive distro and the main reason is its user friendly Linux ever (Just my opinion). Last day, I just send email to all my staff.

The desktop CD allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later.2. You will need at least 384MB of RAM to install from this CD.3. Coming on 2 type: Desktop and Server4. Holy shits...its can install on windows. See picture below. This is the screen shot when you put your CD on your CD drive.5. New desktop appearance.

How to : Play a real media file
2007-12-08 01:13:00 Hi, to play a real media file you need this component. I have tested it on Ubuntu 7.10 before. This is the easy way I do it:1. Install the Kaffeine player. To install just go to 'Synaptic Package Manager' and search for it. Then, 'Mark for Installation' to install the Kaffeine.2. You need download the "essential codecs package" from MPlay er download page: http://www.mplayerhq.hu3. Make directory name "win32" in the /usr/lib with your terminal. Please doing this section with root privilage. Its become /usr/lib/win32 .4. Extract the "essential codecs package" that you have download before and copy all the contents to /usr/lib/win32 .5. Open Kaffeine player. For the 1st time the kaffeine can't play the real media. This is because the codec is not define properly. What you can do is, just go to settings --> xine engine --> parameters --> decoder and type /usr/lib/win32 under the external Real Media codecs path. Now you can enjoy watching your real media file. Thats all. More About: How To , File

Linux Networking no.5: Round Robin DNS Load Balancing
2007-07-13 03:36:00 How DNS load balancing worksWhen the request comes to the DNS server to resolve the domain name, it gives out one of the several canonical names in a rotated order. This redirects the request to one of the several servers in a server group. Once the BIND feature of DNS resolves the domain to one of the servers, subsequent requests from the same client are sent to the same server.DNS load balancing implementation (Multiple CNAMES)This approach works for BIND 4 name servers, where multiple CNAMES are not considered as a configuration error. Assuming there are 4 web servers in the cluster configured with IP addresses 192.168.1.[1-4], add all of them to the DNS with Address records (A Names) as below. The server[1-4] can be set to any name you want, such as foo[1-4], but should match the next step.server1 IN A 192.168.1.1server2 IN A 192.168.1.2server3 IN A 192.168.1.3server4 IN A 192.168.1.4Add the following canonical names to resolve www.yourdomain.com to one of these serv...
