same machine. You can go with a traditional dual-boot system in which

common partition for files, or you can use an emulator such as Wine, which lets you install Windows applications right in your Linux system. Virtualization programs, such as those from VMware,
bring you closer to the more ideal solution of using both systems at

mail firewall in front of a Communigate pro cluster. This tutorial has
been written for the CENTOS 5.x Linux distro but am sure it can be used
for any other Linux based system with little modifications. The system

It should be here noted that since the operations described below are not very trivial, this procedure should only be followed by people somewhat experienced.

Heartbeat2 Xen cluster with drbd8 and OCFS2
Posted by suvi under Other
The idea behind the whole set-up is to get a High availability two node Cluster with redundant data. The two identical Servers are installed with Xen hypervisor and almost same configuration as Cluster nodes. The configuration and image files of Xen virtual machines are stored on drbd device for redundancy. Drbd8 and OCFS2 allows simultaneous mounting on both nodes, which is required for live migration of xen virtual machines.

To install:
# sudo apt-get install k3b
One of the features I like in K3b is the ability to preview audio
tracks within the playlist editor, but if you haven’t installed and
started artsd, you’ll get the following error:
