Version Control with Subversion

Posted on by

This is the home of Version Control with Subversion, a free book about the ubiquitous Apache™ Subversion® version control system and written by some of the developers of Subversion itself.

As you may have guessed from the layout of this page, we are quite pleased that some versions of this book have been published by O’Reilly Media. You can certainly buy a traditionally published print copy of the book if you’d like to, but you’ll always find the most recent versions here on this site, available in both HTML and PDF formats.

Linux Network Configuration

Posted on by

This Linux tutorial covers TCP/IP networking, network administration and system configuration basics. Linux can support multiple network devices. The device names are numbered and begin at zero and count upwards. For example, a computer running two ethernet cards will have two devices labeled /dev/eth0 and /dev/eth1. Linux network configuration, management, monitoring and system tools are covered in this tutorial.

WiFi Antennas | Selecting a WiFi antenna

Parabolic or dish antennas

This is where the real power is! Parabolic dish antennas put out tremendous gain but are a little hard to point and make a connection with. As the gain of an antenna increases, the antenna’s radiation pattern decreases until you have a very little window to point or aim your dish correctly. Dish antennas are almost always used for a point to point system for long haul systems. The Parabolic Dish antennas work by focusing the power to a central point and beaming the radio’s signal to a specific area, kind of like the adjustable reflector on a flashlight. These antennas are highly focused and are the perfect tool if you want to send your signal a very long distance.

AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge

Posted on by

The default RPMforge repository does not replace any CentOS base packages. In the past it used to, but those packages are now in a separate repository (rpmforge-extras) which is disabled by default.

You can find a complete listing of the RPMforge package packages at http://packages.sw.be/

via AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge – CentOS Wiki.

The rpm at this link allows for yum to see the additional packages — such as alpine and perhaps others that were missing in the base.

Load balancing – LVSKB

Posted on by

In computing, load balancing is a technique used to spread work load among many processes, computers, networks, disks or other resources, so that no single resource is overloaded.

Load balancing can also be considered as distributing items into buckets:

  • data to memory locations
  • files to disks
  • tasks to processors
  • packets to network interfaces
  • requests to servers

Its goal is even distribution.
