New server

Here is the list of things that I remember doing so far in building the new server:

• get the system to be stable (had to limit RAM to 2GB and use Ubuntu. Fedora seemed to have a kernel oops and more memory was incorrectly seen by the BIOS which then caused everything to fall apart)
• use an SMP kernel to take advantage of the dual CPU
• install and configure samba
• install and configure apache (the apache2 config is really cool compared to old apache)
• install latest nvidia driver and make corresponding tweaks to xorg.conf
• copy music repository from old server
• copy photo repository from old server
• copy travel, food, and harlan web trees from old server

Here is the list of things I have yet to do:

• copy over LDAP from old server
• see what it will take to get most things use LDAP for authentication
• install and configure postfix
• revisit my spam countermeasures
• install my network attack countermeasures (simple event correlation, sec.pl)
• install and configure iptables
• understand how package management works under Ubuntu
