Fedora Core 10 and Xen, or Not

Now that the system is up and running time to get Xen working.

I realized that the xen kernel was not installed. Check the yum repository and no xen kerenl! A little more digging and I find out that Fedora Core 9 broke Xen and they are still working on getting it updated! Now here is one of linux's strong points. I need virtual machines, Planned on using Xen but there are 5 different ways to do it that I know of, including Xen, VMWare, Qemu, etc. So no Xen, I go ahead and pull down Qemu. It works with the hardware and with the kernel KVM module that allows the system to access the AMD-V functions. Just a quick yum install qemu and I was off and running!

Time to upgrade

Well, it seems that one of my older servers has decided to take a dive. It was an Intel P3 @ 1.0ghz and it just died. I used it to run my network monitoring system, in this case Nagios. The system was at the end of it's life and I decided not to fix it and just upgrade it.

 So a quick run to Fry and for 280$ I picked up a Gigabyte Motherboard, 4 gigs of ram, an AMD X2 7750, 500gig Hard Drive and a case and power supply.  Now this is easily 10x what the old system was and Nagios really does not need all that power so it looks like a good time to install Fedora Core 10 and Xen and see how it works.

 Ill note here that I already have a system set up with Xen, one of the Virtual Servers is used for this website. So this is not my first time to run Xen.

 To kick it off I downloaded the latest Fedora Core 10 DVD and installed it on the system. Making sure to customize the install and select virtualization.

Postal Security

There are times when you need to get items through the mail. This poses a security risk as a valid address must be given to receive the items you want. This file is intended to provide you with an understanding of how to set up Postal delivery points that are difficult if not impossible to trace. As with any security you implement there is a trade off. You are trading reliability and quickness of delivery for security.

Four basic delivery addresses
Post Office Box: The average Joe will not know who you are but the Post Office and Government will!
Non-Post Office PO Box: Requires ID's to get, so depending on how you set it up, they may, or may not know who you are.
Drop Addresses: Very secure, No trace of who got the mail, disposable, and easy to change. It does require some work.
Mail Forwards: Commercial, costly, and traceable.
