Second set of hardware is a false requirement. Go to, say, http://nosupportlinuxhosting.com and rent a VM for $1/month and set up your server there. Make it work. If you insist on physical hardware, you can then clone the working setup back to your physical server. -- Carl Fink nitpick...@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews!
