is a static IP address and ethernet connection. LON-CAPA takes care |

of the rest. Load-balancing should not be implemented with |

It is, however, both easily doable and highly recommended. Every machine's |
|
/home/httpd/html/res directory should be periodically saved in entirety. |
|
Additionally, you may wish to save other machine-specific configuration |
|
files such as /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf (for a description of these |
|
files, go to <A HREF="http://www.lon-capa.org/install/doc/loncapafiles/loncapafiles.html"> |

|
save this, via a tape-drive or CD-ROM, that is your currently your |
|
judgement call. For more information on backing up Linux-based systems, |

A monitor and other peripherals are not necessary for anything but |
|
the installation process. Their inclusion with your computer system |
|
is dependent on what level of convenience you think they provide. |
