Here's a list of urls that will assist in setting up your server for high performance / large scale / high traffic sites.

You will need a webhost that allows you shell access (preferably a VPS w/ 512MB RAM minimum)
http://slicehost.com
http://www.linode.com/
http://servebydesign.net
http://eastcoasthosting.com

You will need to download the memcache module first
http://drupal.org/project/memcache
(note: you don't actually enable this module. Use the INSTALLATION.txt file to add configuration to settings.php file after installing memcache and PECL libraries)

Cinderella unfolds her beauty

Submitted by tommi on 28. January 2009 - 4:56.

There was a workful and modest lady who provided all kinds of service to the people. She was so happy serving she forgot to put on a beautiful dress. Also not few had a hard time to understand her and her unusual ways of doing things. Only the ones that took their time discovered all of her incredible beauty. But some day she also wanted to take part in the partying...

I think I do not have to mention who this lady is.

About 5 months ago I was worried when the department I was working with in NYC was getting ready to migrate sites from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6. I had started working with Drupal during the late 4.6 days but wasn't really a developer until a few months into Drupal 5. Even then I was making beginner mistakes of hackng modules (but not core) to get my desired results.

Fast Forward 1 year and a few months, after hours of reading other people code, blog post, going to DrupalCamps, DrupalCons, and Lullabot trainings, I finally feel comfortable developing in Drupal 5. Of course this is all in relativity, you have modules like Views and Panels which remind you there is so much more to learn.

So my roommate introduced me to a site Stuff White People Like that I originally found offensive, but after reviewing it I found it quite humorous. My negative responses are in red, neutral responses in orange, and agreed responses in green, surprisingly there are many agreed, does that make me white?

MothersClick.com, a social networking site for mother's, is looking for a user friendly yet fully functional and configurable WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get") editor. So I spent a few days installing all available Drupal 5 WYSIWYG editors on my local machine. Each editor was setup on it's own fresh installation of Drupal 5.11. The default theme was Garland and then the top 3 editors wered later tested in a development environment for MothersClick.com.
