Minimum Install VNC Remote Desktop Server on Centos
I wrote an update for an article that i wrote a couple months ago here It's a tutorial to install VNC on Linux Centos VPS. On that tutorial I was installing the group package of Gnome Desktop which will install all Gnome's applications including Open Office. This of course requires a lot of space and RAM resources to be run on a VPS which most of the time we don't need Open Office etc.
My self only use the VNC server that I installed in a VPS located in US datacenter to access some website which only available for US visitors. For browsing purposes I only need Gnome minimum install and Firefox browser and that is what I installed on this tutorial.

Registering 32-bit DLL on Windows Server SBS 2008 64-bit
Recently I'm installing a 32-bit application on a fresh installed Windows Server SBS 2008 which only comes in 64-bit version. This application that I'm installing is requiring a DLL file to be registered on the registry using the regsvr32 command.
Here comes the problem with registering 32-bit DLL since 32-bit application see different "system32" in Windows Server 64-bit. 32-bit application will see %windir%\syswow64 as their "system32" directory in 64-bit OS, while 64-bit application will use the %windir%\system32.
So to register the 32-bit DLL on 64-bit Windows Server we need to call the 32-bit version of regsvr32 which located on %windir%\syswow64, for example:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe .dll
