I've installed Xen 4 on one of my servers and was wondering which would be the best distribution to use? I will be installing cPanel on this and while I know cPanel works best with CentOS 4.5 32-bit, would there be anything else tht might work better/faster as a VM under Xen? Maybe 64-bit for Hardware Assisted Virtualization?
View 3 RepliesHow would you distribute power to your racks?
What we are panning on doing is piping directly out of the fuse panel down to the raised floor. Inside the floor there will be flexible romex that feeds up into the racks. Once fed into the racks it is then piped into junction boxes which are attached to a piece of unistrut. There will be a ton of outlets so each server has two outlets, one of course being for backup.
Does anyone see anything wrong with this? What about UL 60950-1 standards?
What is the program or tool can I distribute my site on many of servers to work correctly fine for example:
databases
my databases Stored in a server and a my website files in another server?
Would anyone have any ideas which Linux distribution can be updated the easiest, as in 2 years later, I can run a command or something that will bring it up to the most recent release without having to be fully reinstalled. I will be working with Xen soon, and I know that is more friendly for that type of thing than something like OpenVZ or Virtuozzo could be. I say this after seeing the 2 releases per year idea that Fedora seems to think is fun, and how much work it has been for people to keep up to date. For hosting, its hard to deal with uprooting every so often and migrating to a new system just to keep up to date. I would love to hear some perspectives on this from anyone experienced in this area.

No important low-level files, just the basic cron job bash scripts we run on all servers etc. This would also be a help for syncing these shared files across to new boxes we bring online.
Does anybody have any recommendations for a simple file distribution system for this purpose? Ideally it would run as a cron job rsyncing the files across.
It may just be easier for us to write our own script for the purpose, but thought I should ask if there was anything off the shelf
I recently read someone's blog post about surviving the front page of Digg on a budget. One tip involved using the Coral Content Distribution Network (AKA Coral Cache). The author provided .htaccess snippets for re-directing your traffic through this service.
Has anyone on these forums had experience using Coral Cache as an emergency availability measure? How did it work? Any drawbacks to report? A search turned up a few threads that mentioned Coral Cache, but none that specifically covered pros and cons.
Which CentOS distribution i386 or x86_64 do I need for intel core 2 duo 32bit desktop.
