New server
From Finninday
Here is the list of things that I remember doing so far in building the new server:
- get the system to be stable (had to limit RAM to 2GB and use Ubuntu. Fedora seemed to have a kernel oops and more memory was incorrectly seen by the BIOS which then caused everything to fall apart)
- use an SMP kernel to take advantage of the dual CPU
- install and configure samba
- install and configure apache (the apache2 config is really cool compared to old apache)
- install latest nvidia driver and make corresponding tweaks to xorg.conf
- copy music repository from old server
- copy photo repository from old server
- copy travel, food, and harlan web trees from old server
Here is the list of things I have yet to do:
- copy over LDAP from old server
- see what it will take to get most things use LDAP for authentication
- install and configure postfix
- revisit my spam countermeasures
- install my network attack countermeasures (simple event correlation, sec.pl)
- install and configure iptables
- understand how package management works under Ubuntu
