Network Attached Storage – DIY or PreBuilt?
Jun 26th
If you own more than one computer, you may find that some items would just work better if they were held in one central location and each computer could access these files no matter which computer was on – such as your MP3 Collection for example. This can take the form of dedicating one computer as a server if you like and left on 24/7, you could build your own NAS box or buy one of the many off the shelf – all are good but have a downside normally. I plan on jotting down my thoughts to give each idea a good going over and seeing how it look at the end – join me on my journey into NAS.
Dell R900 Server – 24 cores and 128GIG Ram
Mar 11th
We got in some new servers at work, this been the Dell R900 4U Servers and what peaked my interest was the fact that this servers comes with 2x 6 core Xeon CPU’s – that’s 12 Cores of 2.4Ghz Power. It is easy sometimes to forget what is going on in the server / business world when sitting at home and looking at awe at the 8 Core (2 x 4) Mac Pro or the new 6 Core I7 CPU. This post is just to serve as a means to show you what you can get, this is for a box that might run 12 virtual servers and maybe not quite suited to playing the latest games (the noise would annoy you too much anyhow – its like a jet taking off).
Creating your own Half Life 2 Server on Linux
Feb 22nd
My Aim here is not to write from scratch what you cannot already find by using Google but rather try and get it all in one place. Half Life 2 Death Match can be gained for Free – so first let us get that:
For ATI/AMD (Radeon) graphic card users: install – storefront
For Nvidia (GeForce) graphic card users: install – storefront
Now let us begin on our quest to get a server up and running on Linux, I am going to assume you have access to a Linux box to complete this part.
