I recently put together a file server using the RocketRAID 1820A Serial ATA RAID controller from Highpoint Technology. I chose this particular RAID controller for a few reasons. First of all, Highpoint claimed that the card had support for Debian. Secondly, the card got really good performance reviews. I bought all of the parts for the server a few weeks ago from newegg.com (best prices, fast shipping! - and they're not even paying me to say that). Several weeks and many installation attempts later, I managed to get a copy of Debian Sarge up and running on this machine. To be fair, it wasn't terribly difficult to get Debian installed, but to get it done the way I wanted it took some time and effort. Enough so that it merited me writing down. So for anyone else trying to set up a system with this RAID card, or contemplating doing so, or if you're just interested in this kind of stuff, read on...

Building Simple Load-Balancing Apache Clusters Using Round Robin DNS and NFS

One of the great advantages of Linux is its ability to run happily on yesterday's hardware, unlike some other resource-hogging operating systems we all love to hate. Finding a server to run a basic Linux/Apache setup is often as easy as looking around for whatever unused old computer you have laying around. Many a system administrator still contentedly churns out web content on her old Pentium 166 from 1997. Sometimes, however, if you're lucky, your web site will generate enough traffic that it will outgrow such a setup. When apache begins to consistently cause excessive system loads, it's time to think about an upgrade. But never fear - you needn't break the bank for enhanced performance. With just a little more elbow grease, you can set up a small cluster, easily capable of meeting your increased demands.
