It allows you to write web-based applications in Python that will run many times faster than traditional CGI and will have access to advanced features such as ability to retain database connections and other data between hits and access to Apache internals.</p> <a href="http://www.howtoforge.com/embedding-python-in-apache2-with-mod_python-debian-ubuntu-fedora-centos-mandriva-opensuse" title="Read the rest of this posting." class="read-more">Read more...</a> CentOS Debian Fedora Mandriva SuSE Ubuntu Apache Sun, 20 Jul 2008 18:46:34 +0200 http://www.howtoforge.com/embedding-python-in-apache2-with-mod_python-debian-ubuntu-fedora-centos-mandriva-opensuse http://www.howtoforge.com/embedding-python-in-apache2-with-mod_python-debian-ubuntu-fedora-centos-mandriva-opensuse#comment http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-change-your-login-screen-in-mandriva <p><b>How To Change Your Login Screen In Mandriva</b></p> <p>This is a simple howto on changing your log on screen.

The combination of the two gives you full monitoring: graphics that lets you recognize current or upcoming problems (like "We need a bigger server soon, our load average is increasing rapidly."), and a watchdog that ensures the availability of the monitored services.</p> <a href="http://www.howtoforge.com/server-monitoring-with-munin-monit-mandriva2008.0" title="Read the rest of this posting." class="read-more">Read more...</a> Mandriva Monitoring Sun, 24 Feb 2008 19:51:20 +0100 http://www.howtoforge.com/server-monitoring-with-munin-monit-mandriva2008.0 http://www.howtoforge.com/server-monitoring-with-munin-monit-mandriva2008.0#comment http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-mandriva-2008.0 <p><b>How To Set Up Software RAID1 On A Running System (Incl.
