Drupal Multisite is a powerful and mature tool for creating platform deployments of Drupal-based web-systems. However creating a release structure that allows atomic deployments of individual sites within a multisite is a somewhat less explored problem. Presented blog post describes one such approach that uses Subversion version control and a set of bash scripts for Linux to automate the process.

SVN externals are a convenient way to organize your subversion repository. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug that may give you a good deal of headache of you later decide to replace an external with an actual folder (a drop). This quick blog post describes the problem and the solution.

While looking around for how to run multiple IE browsers, I found a new solution and wanted to
share it. Running a virtual machine of windows is nothing new really. But I discovered something
that made it a little less of a hurdle, and Microsoft is responsible and it's pretty cool.

As Irakli already discussed, the Alternative PHP Cache (APC) is an op-code pre-compiler and a cache system that can boost the performance of a PHP application up to 10 times. Op-code caches are very effective for a Drupal website, since Drupal deals with large number of source files and time spent in parsing them significantly affects performance. However, if you don’t have XAMPP and need to install it on CentOS, you can follow this guide to get around some of the problems that happen with the default server settings.
