Computer Geek’s Been Busy Tweaking a New Dedicated Server
Sorry I haven’t been health blogging lately. Been busy with my new dedicated internet server. Prices have gone down which now allows me to get my hands on a Quad Core 8 GB RAM internet server. Awesome power.
Not really new technology. But now affordable. Now that the intel i7 has arrived on dedicated servers, quad core prices have come down. The current server versions of linux are not yet well tested on i7, so I chose the Quad Core.
I’m testing a large MySQL database server on 64 Bit OS and running virtualization for the website front end using 32 bit OSes. Tricky firewalling and nfs setup, but fun. Will be deploying soon, moving an existing client to this new platform. Probably tomorrow? Let’s see if all tests well.
I want to see this baby run like… like… very fast.
Losing a few hours of sleep. No pain no gain. We need the experience. Gotta keep up with the techno world.
