The plans for my new server are moving along quite nicely. A test today of an operating system installed to a USB pen drive went swimmingly.
Ubuntu Server runs excellently from the pen drive and is quick to boot also, win!
New Dell server should arrive by the end of the month, then it’s plan implementation time.
Dell r410 running Ubuntu Server (from USB drive) with 4 500GB disks zfs’d up, oh yeah and VMWare Server as well… we shall see if it’s up to the task, but so far it’s looking very promising.
