I have tried to run both Debian Etch and Ubuntu 8.04 Server on the cluster nodes, in Dom0. I started my tests with Debian, but I had some issues with slow samba performance in one VM that I couldn't fix so I decided to try Ubuntu Server, for the first time. Both installation went OK, the main difference was that I used mainly source code in Debian, but only packages in Ubuntu. I actually ran into more problems with Ubuntu due to some early bugs in the 8.04 release, will describe them below as I go along. And I have still to prove that running this setup in Ubuntu is stable.

Subscribing to the security mailing lists is a must for every sysadmin, but who has the stamina and the determination to actually read them, and then analyze the impact of both the threat and the proposed fix? A more casual user with no life-or-death-critical servers would happily settle for a solution that would download and install the security patches automatically. As always in Linux, there is more than one way of achieving this. cron-apt works for me.

This short guide describes how to install Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server on Xen. It provides an overview of the Debian Linux Etch installation, and detailed steps for installing and configuring Xen and starting the Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server installation.

This detailed how-to shows all the necessary components of a package and how to put them together to end up with a final product.

Samba permet de partager des dossiers sous Linux avec des ordinateurs locaux sous Windows, très pratique, donc ! De plus, il permet d’établir un réseau relativement sécurisé grâce à ses nombreuses fonctions.

L'objectif de cette installation est de permettre à un serveur Win32 d'accéder à la station Debian en Netbios de facon à ce qu'il puisse récuperer les données sauvegardees que nous mettons à sa disposition. La gestion du backup du système en lui même est présentée dans la partie '4.11.
