More information needed, please. You said that your desktop machine is
running lenny.
yes, it is.
I'll start with a few questions and let other folks add theirs....
1. Do you want to try squeeze on the poweredge or stay with lenny? Is the
hardware in the server supported in lenny or do you have to use squeeze?
yes, would be installing latest stable, squeeze. as far as I can tell,
I had no problems with hardware, i installed squeeze on one of the
drives when i got it couple weeks ago. only thing that did not work was
usb ports. i figured thatd be easy enough to fix, but i dont need them
anyway. raid is embedded and run at hardware level so no drivers needed
for that. pretty sure on that anyway.
2. Are you going to use raid on the disks? (remember you are using about 4gb
now).
with 2 73 gb drives installed the raid config (perc3) gives me 2 options
when i create a container, raid zero, which i dont want, or raid one
(mirrored) so thats what i planned on using. plan on getting a 3rd
drive down the road for hot spare. once i get up and running im assuming
the raid config has option for that.
3. What else is the server going to do for you, now and in the future?
strictly webserver.
4. What web server are you using and what version is it? What are you
planning to use on the new machine?
currently apache2- 2.2.9, sticking with apache on new one, looks like
2.2.16 on squeeze
5. What provisions are you making for backups?
automated daily wordpress, database zip backups to another machine in
the house, plus the raid one (main reason i got the new server was so i
had some sort of redundancy) guess i could have just got a raid card,
but this poweredge was wicked cheap. got from a government contractor
friend.
thanks
steve
