Ethernet bonding refers to aggregating multiple ethernet channels together to form a single channel. This is primarily used for redundancy in ethernet paths or for load balancing.

To use Bonding Ethernet for High-Availability (fail-over) on Debian you need to:

install package ifenslave-2.6.To install this package follow this command
#apt-get install ifenslave-2.6

edit /etc/network/interfaces to look like this:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
address 192.168.1.14
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-search MyDomain.net
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
up ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1
down ifenslave -d bond0 eth0 eth1

comment or borrow the lines referring to your real NICs in the same file
add the following lines to your /etc/modprobe.d/bonding:

alias bond0 bonding
alias eth0 e1000
alias eth1 e1000
options bonding mode=0 miimon=100

It is possible to export a list of all packages on a server and import this list to a new one.
It’s very usefull if you have a big server farm to manage.

Il est possible d’exporter la liste de toutes les packages d’un serveur et d’importer cette liste sur un autre serveur. Cette commande est très pratique si vous avez une ferme de serveurs à gérer.

Export packages list from the primary server:
dpkg –get-selections > mes_paquetages

Import the list on the new server:
dpkg –set-selections < mes_paquetages

And finally install the packages:
apt-get dselect-upgrade

Importons la liste des packages sur le serveur primaire:
dpkg –get-selections > mes_paquetages

Sur le nouveau serveur importons la liste des packages du serveur primaire:
dpkg –set-selections < mes_paquetages

Et enfin installons les paquets:
apt-get dselect-upgrade

Just received my Alienware M15x and install Ubuntu 8.04 on it.
No problem except for the sound.
Need to add the line
options snd-hda-intel model=mbp3
in file
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

Another little issue if you’re using AMsn and you don’t have sounds when you receive a message or when someone connect:
Go to Accound / Preferences / Others and replace
play $sound
with
aplay $sound

to use alsa sound server instead default library.

Configure Sendmail is not very funny.
In my case I have several box in a DMZ and i would like these box will be available to send email from my mail server. But sendmail need a valid MX reply to relay emails.
Without this valid MX you should have this error in the log file

Apr 4 15:46:32 SERVER-01 sendmail[2422]: [ID 801593 mail.info] m34DdKJC002400: to=<evargas @mycompany.com>,<hello @SERVER-01.internaldomain.fr>, delay=00:07:12, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=240354, relay=mail, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Name server: mailhost: host name lookup failure </hello></evargas>

When DNS doesn’t arrive for the party, sendmail gets mad.

How to solve this?

For example, we can write a script to automatically resize, add a border and watermark to many picture in the same directory.

convert $img -resize 20% rez_$img
convert -bordercolor "#000000" -border 2x2 -bordercolor "#FFFFFF" -border 4x4 -bordercolor "#000000" -border 2x2 rez_$img border_$img
convert border_$img -font /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/bchri.pfa -fill white -pointsize 16 -draw "gravity southeast text 10,7 '(c) Vargas Emmanuel http://www\

/bin/rm -f rez_$img
/bin/rm -f border_$img
done
