I'm moving to a new server at home sometime soon,
so if things go screwy, that's why. I dropping the huge 4U rack
mounted beast I've posted
about before. In its place is going to be a teeny shuttle case
with one PCI slot which is really all I need for my security cam
capture cards. I'm going through the stages of setting up ubuntu 8
(hardy) on it right now. I got the PC for $120 which I thought was
a deal. I ordered a 1TB SATA drive ($100!) to throw in there and
it'll just have one drive for now. It has room for another drive,
so at some point I might add another 1.5TB or so. If I need it.
Installing ubuntu was a doddle, I installed the server version
since that has the longest support lifetime. To get it usable I'm
listing the packages I installed incase I need to do it again:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install gcc python-dns binutils-doc autoconf
