Redhat Enterprise 3 doesn't contain a good guide on how to install and manage a RHEL3 system to a pair of mirrored disks using software RAID. Here's is my guide. This guide should work equally well for the clones of RHEL, e.g. Whitebox linux, CentOS, Tao

The first thing that everyone needs to understand is that many of the new SATA RAID motherboards do not have real hardware RAID, but instead contain a software RAID. The hardware manufacturer provides a software driver to have Windows recognize this a RAI
There seem to be "perfect setup" articles about every major Linux distro. I even used one on my own site. However, you need to be aware that these articles are written for ISP Config. In fact, they seem to be almost a viral marketing tool designed to pimp

Since my first encounter with Ubuntu 4.10, I prefer to use sudo to prefix commands that should be run as root, and I configure each and every system accordingly, with a single change: the password to be entered is still the root's one, not the user's own
I'm not going to document the Centos installation itself, for two reasons. Firstly, I've more or less covered that elsewhere (see the Section 8.0 of this article, for example), and secondly it's dead easy. All you have to do is make sure you select the Cu
After a basic install of Centos 4.3, the first thing that we do is to configure a firewall (iptables). To do this easily, navigate here and then select the relevant options. The important ones are to open port 80 for HTTP, port 21 for FTP, port 22 for SSH
