Installing Debian Lenny on an Asus EeePC 900, part one

On Friday I got an Asus EeePC 900 that I had ordered a few days earlier. Now after having looked at the Xandros system that is installed on them when they are sold, it’s time to install Debian on it and become happy. I’m following the instructions on http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Install and will install by booting from… Continue reading Installing Debian Lenny on an Asus EeePC 900, part one

Exchanging apache2-mpm-prefork for apache2-mpm-worker, and using php5-cgi on Debian to improve performance

Running a webserver on a Xen guest with a limited amount of memory, and serve dynamic content, makes one wanting to optimize it, or switch to another webserver,  like lighttpd. I was close to doing that, but I like my current apache setup, so I tried something else instead, which seems to have worked nicely… Continue reading Exchanging apache2-mpm-prefork for apache2-mpm-worker, and using php5-cgi on Debian to improve performance

Jag letade efter lite sidor om slöjdande, täljande närmare bestämt, och hittade bild.admin.kth.se. För att vara exakt, denna sidan, med tillhörande bilder. Men anledningen till att jag skriver om den nu, är att det finns en massa olika bildgallerier på maskinen, med mycket varierat innehåll, och trevliga beskrivningar. Kort och gott en riktig websida.
