Migration Step 2: Hardware & OS#

Ok so I was pretty fed up with my current pc/server situation, and decided to give the good old dustbin err backup pc a second life. As I said, it's a Pentium II running at 233 Mhz with 256 MB of RAM so I couldn't go really wild here but Win2K runs just fine on it. How hard can it be to open up a socket and send over some ones and zeroes, right? Okay so this is probably the most unrespectful way to describe a server, maybe next to 'that ugly suitcase eating my electricity bill' ;-)

As for the hardware: no real problems there. As long as I don't get too many hits it'll run just fine. So stop reading - you're killing me ;-) I still had a 4 port hub lying around which runs at 100 Mbps so that's cool. The modem is an Eicon Diva USB ADSL modem, which works just fine - but not if you need a little more than plain dialup (I'll get to that later). So basically that's all the hardware there is to it: no screen, mouse or keyboard (Remote Desktop for president!) - just an ugly suitcase with a powercord and a hub and modem jacked in. Simple, thus great!

This is my personal website, not my boss', not my mother's, and certainly not the pope's. My personal opinions may be irrelevant, inaccurate, boring or even plain wrong, I'm sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable. But then again, you don't have to read them, I just hope you'll find something interesting here now and then. I'll certainly do my best. But if you don't like it, go read the pope's blog. I'm sure it's fascinating.
