Hi -- I may be looking to buy a web server for a number of web apps (RoR
served with Passenger & Apache) quite soon.
Could anyone advise me on what hardware to be looking for?
I would want decent speed, so good processors & RAM, and I would like, if
possible, for it to be quite clever about power u
I got myself a Logitech Quickcam S7500, works great for me straight out the
box. Clips onto my flat screen monitor, same with laptop. Can be a bit
tricky getting it to work with aMSN, but *apparently* works great with
Skype. Haven't tried it myself, as I don't use Skype.

I have found that webcams sometimes work and sometimes don't.
You want to find something that will work with Skype, Cheese and
SANE (to name just a few apps). SANE, for instance, is very fussy
and only works (AFAIK) 'out of the box' with UVC (USB video class)
compliant webcams. None of the 3

For some reason and I think this might be the eason I cant get the flash
videos to work, it seems I am missing my Local Repositories. I am not
sure why. I am only guessing this because I cant find a few of the video
and music installations, plus, when I check what I have on my netbook

don't buy hardware, look at renting a virtual private server. You will
get stacks more bandwidth than you could otherwise afford and you get
full root access and the ability to do a hard reboot. The processor will
be very fast but the memory will be a bit limited, perfectly fine for
PHP apps, b

I appreciate the advice there, and that is definitely the route I take with
external, client-facing websites (although I use Mampi -- just get a
recommendation in there!).
This, however, is for a suite of inter-operating internal apps, so the
requirement is to have them hosted internally.
Cheers,
ha! and all these years I've been thinking it was just me.

There are two critical questions you should ask yourself:
1) What if your server died; say the processor/memory/CPU failed -
will the few-day-outage, while waiting for a spare part, be a problem
for your customers? If so, you will want to consider a second
hot-standby server.
2) What if the serve
