Just a post to keep you informed what's going on on the new server
finance & hardware side:
>From the AbiFund, I received $700, which was transformed to a mere 592
EUR :( Grrrrr!. Additionally, I received 50EUR from an "not so
undisclosed" source, which gave me a total of 642 EUR in donations!
Thanks to all donators for the support (you know who you are)!
With this money, I bought the following hardware:
Component Price (in EUR)
Asus P4533-MX motherboard 80
Intel Pentium 4, 2.4 Ghz, 533 190
Kingston 512 MB DDR333 RAM 90
Samsung 7200RPM 40 GB HD 80
Procase IPC-C2S 19" Rack Case[1] 346
---
Total 786
This give me a deficiency of 786 - 642 = 144 EUR, which I added myself
as a donation.
All hardware, except for the casing has arrived. The casing should
arrive within 1 week. I assembled the server and installed Red Hat Linux
8.0 on it. Furthermore, I've been stress testing if for about 2 weeks
now: it handled over 10 TB of traffic via Apache, without a glitch.
When the server casing arrives, I'll transfer it to the University of
Twente network bunker as soon as possible.
Pleas be patient :)
Marc
