| − | | + | |
| − | == Ordering ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Newark is the best choice for a node location for 2 reasons:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Guaranteed 64-bit host
| + | |
| − | * Fast internal-network disk image fetch from <ljuser>exor674</ljuser>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Setting up a Linux Deployment ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Click on "Deploy a Linux Distribution":

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Click on "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 64 Bit" | + | |
| − | # Enter "3096" as the disk image size
| + | |

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[Image:LinodeDistributionWizard.png]] | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Wait for it to complete, and then hit "Create new disk image".
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[Image:AddPrivateIP.png]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | And take note of the text after "eth0"--this is your node's public IP--and the text under "for manual configuration"--your private network IP.

| − | == Getting and using the Dreamwidth image ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | We're going to install a canned Dreamwidth image to make things easier on us.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Install wget:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | apt-get install wget
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you are on a Newark node:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <i>noted "for manual configuration" line</i>
| + | |
| − | wget http://192.168.133.102:6887/Linode-Dreamwidth-Ubuntu.img

| − | | + | |
| − | If you are *NOT* in Newark:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | wget http://ns1.andreanall.com:6887/Linode-Dreamwidth-Ubuntu.img
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Now you can copy the image to your deployment:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | dd if=Linode-Dreamwidth-Ubuntu.img of=/dev/xvdc
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[Image:LinodeDreamwidthImage.png]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <b>Note:</b> This may take a while. Now you can delete the old Ubuntu image and switch over to the Dreamwidth image. To delete the old Ubuntu image:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Press "Shutdown"(Image 1), and wait for it to finish

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Hit "Boot"
| + | |
| − | # Wait 30 seconds after the job completes.
| + | |
| − | # Open your SSH client and SSH to root@<i>noted eth0 address</i>, and enter your root password
