Servers, servers, everywhere! (Tuesday, January 04, 2005)

Well, if you remember a little while back, I mentioned that hosting could be coming back (which means I was looking at buying a server). Well, here's an update...

I'm getting two. That's right, two new servers. One, an HP NetServer LPr, and the other a Compaq Proliant 6400. The NetServer has dual PIII 500MHz processors, half a gig of RAM, and two 9.1 GB hot-swappable hard drives. I spent last night downloading and burning copies of Fedora Core 3 (which I plan to install on both servers). I know, I know, what happened to my FreeBSD craze? It's still there, but I have other plans for these two servers.

Anyways, the second server, which is the Compaq, comes with quad (that's right, 4!) Xeon 550MHz processors, about 1 1/2 gig of RAM, 1 18.2 GB hot-swappable HD, and 3 9.1 GB hot-swappable HD's! It's a screaming monster of a system. It can churn out about 12 SETI@home work units per day. That's impressive, considering my best is one work unit ever 30 hours.

So hosting should be coming sooner than you think!
