This howto will show you how to setup a haproxy with corosync and pacemaker on RHEL6, Centos6 or SL6 as TCP load balancer for multiple HTTP proxies. It will be high available by itself and also recognize if one proxy does not accept connections anymore and will remove it automatically from the load balancing until it is back in operation.

Subject: TLWIR Special: Formatting Your Code in GNU/Linux With Highlight
Summary: As a C++ programmer, I like to program coding examples, and then paste them into tutorials on websites. I used to use web based solutions to format and highlight my code. These solutions usually have you paste the code in their web page. The web page then color-highlights the code, and allows you to download the formatted result. This can be a pretty good solution, but I really wanted a solution that I could use on my GNU/Linux PCs. Highlight is a wonderful program that provided the perfect solution. Highlight isn’t just for highlighting C++ source code; it can handle PHP, C, C#, Perl, Python, or just about any programming language that you can throw at it. In this article, I will show you how to use Highlight to format your code perfectly every time.

Subject: Why The Linux Desktop Matters More Than Ever, This Time?

One of the things that the GNOME design crew have been focusing on recently is creating a new approach to application design for GNOME 3. We want GNOME applications to be thoroughly modern, and we want them to be attractive and a delight to use. That means that we have to do application design differently to how we’ve done it in the past.

gnome-shell-logoEver since Gnome started the extensions site where developers can submit their extensions to the library, there have been a great number of useful extensions that appear in the list. With the new extension site, installation of extensions is simply a mouse click. Gone are the days where we still need to add a custom repository just to install an extension. Below are 10 of the best Gnome Shell extensions that we uncovered from the library.

As an intern with the Monty Program AB, Vangelis Katsikaros recently had an opportunity to ask the project founder and MariaDB creator, Michael Widenius (aka "Monty"), a variety of interesting questions. Vangelis generously offered to share that conversation exclusively with Linux.com readers. Here is the transcript from that interview.

If you're coming from FreeNAS 7 to Ubuntu, you remember the very handy torrent server that was built in. Well we can exactly replicate that with Transmission's and its WebGUI. A torrent server provides you a great way to download torrents directly to your server. It also allows you to constantly seed torrents, even when your main computers are off. I use this to host copies of OS's (such as Ubuntu!) so other people can download them faster.
