Due to server maintenance, expect the server to be down for at least a few hours this weekend while I perform the install and configuration.

This weekend, I plan to make some configuration changes to the server. This new configuration will allow me to have much more space for hosting as well as a drive to use for backup. Hopefully this will keep the server useful and safe from hard drive failures and attacks. As far as I can see, I have found the best way to configure it.

Before:

• 46.1 GB Maxtor - Windows XP Pro
• 10 GB IBM - Fedora Core 3 (This server)

After:

• 46.1 GB Maxtor - Fedora Core 4
• 10 GB IBM - Backup

I plan to install and configure the system in a few hours and have it back up and running as usual. I don't anticipate any failures or loss of information in the transition and will keep backups just in case. Sometime in the future I would like to upgrade this system, but it does seem to suit for now. The specs are fairly modest to say the least.

Server Specs:

• Gateway Essential 500
• Intel Pentium III 500 MHz
• 256MB PC100 SDRAM
• 46.1 GB Maxtor Hard Drive
• 10 GB IBM Hard Drive
• Matsushita DVD-III Drive
• NVidia Geforce 2 MX400 64MB
• Creative ES1371 Sound Card
• Linksys LNE-100TX v.4 NIC
