Re: [MLUG] new server

[Adam Procter <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Thanks, everyone, for offering to chip in! I think all that we really will need is a hard drive for the server, and maybe a second hard drive of roughly equal size for backups (back-whaa? no, really!). A glance at newegg.com would seem to suggest that the best price per GB is around 320GB these days, and while we don't need all that storage just yet, it wouldn't hurt to have a little extra for the future. I'm a little bit tied down with other things right now, but once I have a little more time to focus on MLUG stuff I may very well pass the hat around. :)

yea, just let me know if i can chip a little in. i'm sure a small
collection would be enough to purchase a big drive from newegg.

Adam--

Tell us that you are doing a collection for a server upgrade and tell us
where to mail the checks.  We all use the server (at least for the list)
and have done so for years and I don't remember ever paying anything.  So
I'm happy to send something that will help.

Maybe kinda sorta soon.  ;)  I want to take the opportunity to
reconfigure/rework/tighten up some things, so I've been using my home
server as a sort of testbed before I go ripping things apart on mlug,
and I think I now have a pretty good idea how I want to set up the new
mlug box. I've already got the replacement hardware (except the disk --
anyone got a spare 300GB or so that they could part with?) so once I
figure out a few remaining details it's just a matter of installing and
configuring the OS (which shouldn't take very long, since I've got
everything pretty well mapped out), removing the old box from the data
center, migrating accounts (hopefully little more than quick rsync), and
bringing the new box into the data center. I'll probably set aside a
weekend over break to do the migration -- should be just the thing to
chase winter boredom away  :)
