Brscan? In mint (which is sort of ubuntu) I cannot find 'brscan' when using quick filter on Synaptic. In google I see that it's possibly a brother scanner driver? I'd download from brother the dpkg file first, then use either dpkg or apt-get to install (or maybe apt, I forget) From:

Hi Vimal - a bit OT as you're on Linode, but the best tuning I have ever seen on a database was putting it on a SSD. If you go the cluster route by keeping the master on Linode and using EC2 to serve capacity peaks when they come in, the a CFEngine config tool might have get you the dynamic
