 Apache goes down when the requests are high.

One of the solution is to use a load balancer if you want to handle
very high traffic.   Load balancer typically has an option to offload
SSL (for https) so that it can handle SSL encryption/decryption using
dedicated hardware chip and at wirespeed.  LB will act like a reverse
proxy.  With sufficient servers on the backend and using a load
balancer in the front, it can easily handle million request/second.

Great!  I also started with BASIC (GWBASIC).

In my opinion, python is a decent, good first choice to introduce to
children (very basic python is enough considering her age).

YYMMV.

Re: [Ilugc] Tools for simulating network issues

2012-06-24 Thread M K Saravanan
Usually for a quick testing, I use FreeBSD-based live CD Frenzy as a VM
(create a VM and assign the ISO image of the CD and boot directly from it
with out installing anything) and use ipfw to simulate bandwidth, latency
and packet loss.

Is it still possible to access Wikipedia in any way?
The Wikipedia community, as part of their request to the Wikimedia
Foundation to carry out this protest, asked us to ensure that we make
English Wikipedia accessible in some way during an emergency. The
English Wikipedia will be accessible on mobile devices and smart
phones. You can also view Wikipedia normally by completely disabling

I used pyparsing for one of my parsing project.  It is easy to learn and use.

[Ilugc] kcron is missing

2009-09-08 Thread M K Saravanan
Hi,

I am using Fedora 11.  kcron documentation says, it is a part of
kdeadmin package.  After doing yum install kdeadmin, the
installation went successfully.  But I don't see kcron installed.
If I run kcron on the command prompt as root, it says command not
found error.

Does anyone know a solution for this?
