Drupal StackScript for RH Derivatives on Linode (Instant Drupal!)

published on Wed, 02/24/2010 - 20:40

StackScripts are a relatively new offering from Linode that allow users to build their own installation script by "stacking" previously existing scripts together to build the machine you want. You can keep your StackScript to yourself, or publish it for the world to use.

Linode rocks. Seriously, read my review. I was talking to a co-worker (whom I converted to Linode as well) about how I would pay double the amount to keep my Linode now that I know how much I use it.

Mozilla Weave is a project from Mozilla Labs that aims to keep all of your browser data synced between all of your PC's.  The now defunct Google Browser Sync used to do this, as does Foxmarks.  Although Weave is still in it's infancy, it's been very promising thus far.  However, many of the users of Mozilla's own Weave server complain that the service is very slow.  The beauty of Weave is that it uses the standard protocol WebDAV to sync it's data.
