Atricle Dump - Linux-Speed Up Your Ide Hard Drive
Bad Credit Business Loan - Bad Credit Business Loans May Be the Answer
Although your business has become a fixture of the community that serves it well, you may never have been able to get out from under the accumulation of business related debt. Regardless of the reason, the business cash flow is not equal to the monthly bills, which are beginning to fall behind. With each payment that isn't made, the interest on the business debt continues to accrue, make the debt larger and more difficult to pay. Each missed payment results in a stiff late fee o

Independent Professionals: What Paradigm Are You Weaving? Part 1
So we've heard the well-worn statistic that we're exposed to around 3000 advertising messages per day (personally I think it's A LOT more). Ever consider what each of these messages is really asking you to consider?I just opened up the web browser on one of my PC's. Straight away I'm faced with an ad from Virgin Credit Cards "Things get more exciting when you say yes!" presumably that means saying 'yes' to debt - in this case it's by clicking on the word 'yes' which opens
Linux systems usually use conservative default IDE driver settings that could be significantly slowing down your system. By default they are set to most safe settings guaranteed to work. However you may reconfigure them to increase the read speed of your hard drive. In most cases this will not speed up serving of your website significantly, but it is nice to know that you can get the most out of your hardware.So we've heard the well-worn statistic that we're exposed to around 3000 advertising messages per day (personally I think it's A LOT more).

To benchmark the read speed of your IDE drive execute the following
>root@newserver [~]# hdparm -Tt /dev/hda

Timing buffer-cache reads: 696 MB in 2.00 seconds = 348.00 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 60 MB in 3.00 seconds = 19.80 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads can be very slow. This may be as a result of high CPU load or extensive hard disk swapping. Check apache optimization section first if the read time is too slow. Now lets' see what are the Input/Output settings of your hard disk. Execute the command /sbin/hdparm -v /dev/hda

Lastly you may tweak UltraDMA settings for those who have Mode3/4 IDE controllers with EIDE or UDMA HDs. It is possible to enable the Mode3 or Mode4 PIO and UDMA. This is too risky in my opinion for a web server so we skip this part. In a sample above UDMA is already enabled.
After you reboot the server these settings that you have just applied will not be saved. You may edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local file root@cpanel [~]# pico /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add these commands to this file. rc.local is run after all other command are already executed when linux server is started up.
Note: standard settings are guaranteed to work. If you are not sure what you are doing and you prefer stability of your system for extra speed do not apply the above commands. We ran these optimized settings at our server Filesland.com and other sites
