Servers

There has been a big discussion of what we all use on the desktop. I was wondering what hardware and software everyone use for servers and what the servers are used for.

I use a lot of stuff. :mrgreen:

Being serious though, I mainly run three machines as servers for various things.

#0: Dell OptiPlex GX150 (Intel Pentium III (800 MHz), 256 MB of RAM, 40 GB hard drive)
Operating System: OpenBSD
DNS (BIND), HTTP/HTTPS (Apache), Local Fedora mirror (Lighttpd).

#1: Dell OptiPlex GX150 (Intel Pentium III (930 MHz), 256 MB of RAM, 40 GB hard drive)
Operating System: OpenBSD
Shell access (OpenSSH), Gopher (GoFish), IRC (IRCD-Hybrid).

#2: AMD Athlon XP Thoroughbred 2400+ (2 GHz), 512 MB of PC3200 (DDR400) RAM, 760 GB of space)
Operating System: CentOS 5.x
File server (Samba).

I also use a WRT54GL router with DD-WRT on it.

Computer: Generic AMD 2400XP, 1GB RAM, (currently) 2x320GB HD + 2x120GB HD + 80GB HD for the OS
OS: Ubuntu Feisty
Uses: File server, Bit Torrent, Podcatching

Network: WRT54G (v2) running Tomato, just ordered a WRT54GL to expand coverage via WDS.

I have also just ordered 3x750GB SATA drives and a 4 port SATA controller to replace my current HD setup. Probably going to reinstall the OS still undecided on FreeBSD or Linux.

AMD K6-III 400 Mhz with Athlon cooling fan (hey, it fits!), Asus P5A motherboard, 512 megs RAM, 40 Gig HD.

OS: Debian Stable

Uses: Podcatching, CVS, backup, Wiki, web server (testing, and internal use), E-mail.

This system runs bashpodder via a cron job, then generates an RSS feed using a Perl script I wrote. I can hit it from any system on the network with a custom hacked bashpodder I keep on my USB key. Just plug in, run bashpodder, and I'm off to work with my podcasts!
