We are back!

So it should last until september or so, right?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nah this one should last us much longer then that.

We were not even close to putting a load on the old server. We did this because we had the ability to afford our own server (basically I was refinancing my house and added extra money to the refinance to buy the new server)

Our operating costs were about $1,200 a month becuase we were not only paying for bandwith but the cost to rent the server. Now with this new server our cost of operations drop down greatly (by almost 90%)

The total cost of the server was almost $7000 when you figure out the cost of the server, cost of upgrading additional equipment outside the server itself, cost of software, cost of shipping and start up costs and upgrades at the ISP.

This server should last us for a long long time. With that said though I am planning on putting money away for a second server for the future.

UMMMM Nope! I don't think I will let Scott buy another server again (at least not that soon). Although, I have allowed him to get all the ones so far, so who knows!

You should know by now you cannot take away our toys from us. We tend to go through computer buying withdrawl every couple of years.

Every couple of years is fine, twice a year is another matter altogether

So what did Ler end up getting installed on it? Freebsd 5.5 AMD64 or Freebsd 6.1 AMD64? She is flying. Those supermicro servers are very impressive.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

FreeBSD 6.1 AMD64

 

[LER]

more specifically, FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE amd64.

 

[Purogamer]

Stable? Well that's no fun...

We need us some bugs!!

 

[LER]

STABLE in FreeBSD terms is NOT necessarily bug-free, just that the API's are stable.

See http://www.freebsd.org/ for definitions, etc.

As a matter of fact, around 4am my time (CDT), I rebooted into a fresh kernel.

That is cool the move went fast. The site loads a lot faster too.

 

[cablewithaview]

email notification isn't working right at the moment.

 

[gdarwin]

Noticed that also. I have not got one all day.

 

[cablewithaview]

I didn't get this one on your posting, I have to go to the main forum page to see if someone post or go back into that section.

 

[LER]

I'll leave this for Scott. Just tried to call him with no luck.

I don't know the vb E-Mail stuff well enough.

test to see if updates go out.

Hrm. let's see if the change I just made fixes it.

 

[LER]

yay. That seems to have worked.

Let me know if there are more issues
