Home Computer Rack and Servers

This is my computer rack I use to learn about linux and mostly test stuff from work. The place I work at has a VERY small ISP side and a computer side. I ended up in the ISP side when nobody knows anything about linux. So they are off unless I need to figure out stuff from work. A correction is the two are not pIII 800 they are PIII socket 370 866 processors. All machines except for the imac have 512 meg of ram or more. The opterons have 2 gig of ram. The macs have mac osx server 10.4. I have been using linux since 96. Shortly after winderzs 95 came out.

No it was in the back porch area off the kitchen. There was a door to outside and another door to the kitchen. The back porch was a add-on and no well insulated. But was good enough for the servers.

wow nice server's do you think you can host game server's?

[idahofur]

Well depends on the game. These servers are mostly to test with. So processing power required to run a back end for games is missing. (Depending on the game). Plus bandwidth would be another issue. Sorry to give you a mixed response. Mostly depends on what the game needs for the backend.

[idahofur]

A little late. But you can host a game server based on what backend is being used. So you have a game that runs on your workstation. AKA the client or front end. Then you have the server side the same connects to. There is some open source games. But as long as your meet the hardware requirements and enough bandwidth. Like any other server your need a static or permit ip and probably a domain registered depeneding on the game. It might just need a ip number.

can i have the cp that you dont want

[idahofur]

well you would have to live in idaho and close to me. The problem is they are all in the garage after being moved. We the exception of a few. I did let one or two go. But I need to go through them first. Then you have like the dual piii 500. That of all horrible thing is sentimental value along with the cd tower. I built that over 10 years ago at my first computer job.

In your kichen?

Hi, I was just wondering if I could build my own server. My current ISP, is really slow with not that much bandwith or speed etc. I have had some background with Linux and building computers, so I was just wondering if it's even possible. I just don't know how they work.

Have not tried FreeNas Just use samba for now. (No really large hard drives) Tried BSD. Cannot remeber what version and what I used it for. Think it was a radius server or a squid proxy box. As for PFSense. Most at work use cisco. however, I got two monowall boxes running. Plus building a third for home. Have not really done much with the mac. Since one needs a battery. Perhaps one day load yellowdog on one.

You need to play around with FreeNAS, NetBSD, YellowDog and PFSense to get all that stuff some use.
