Preparing for the Worst - Optimizing Your Database-Driven Website

Submitted by Jeff Geerling on June 10, 2009 - 9:50pm

For the past two months, I've experience the joys and frustrations of many a UNIX/Linux system administrator as I went through the process of taking a fresh, newly-deployed LAMP server running CentOS and loading it up with two high-traffic websites (nothing insane, but definitely the most traffic I've ever dealt with!).

Connecting to a Windows File Share from a Mac

Submitted by Jeff Geerling on February 7, 2009 - 7:49pm

Here's a quickie: A lot of Mac users are on Windows networks, and need to sometimes connect to a shared folder on their network to share/retrieve documents with other Windows users. The easiest way to do this is to type in the path to the shared folder in the "Connect to Server..." dialog box. To do this, just:

  1. Switch to the Finder.
  2. Choose the "Connect to Server..." menu option in the Go menu (or press Command-K).
  3. Type in the path to your windows shared folder as follows:

smb://SERVER_NAME/share-name/folder-name
