I got the load balancer working pretty easily. The changes to apache2.conf are pretty straight forwards.

I'll do a detailed write up on that at some point, but in the mean time, here are two sites that have useful information on load balancing:

Gnome Encfs Manager

Posted 06-17-2013 at 11:38 AM by sridhar11

Whether you want to let it do things as simple as mounting a stash at startup, which is often used in conjunction with cloud-synced folders on services like Dropbox and Ubuntu one, or whether you want to let it automatically mount and unmount your...

A few sites require the the newer version of Adobe Flash with the Pepper API.

This is included in the closed Chrome browser package, but it can also be used with the open source Chromium browser from which Chrome is derived. The Pepper API is not supported by Firefox.

There are packages available for some distros, but it can also be installed manually.

First download the current Chrome package to suit your architecture, eg:

Code:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable-current_
