After getting a little extra money in the computer infrastructure budget for home, I’ve taken the bold step of upgrading from the current main server:
450 MHz Pentium III 400MB RAM nVidia GeForce2 MX 200GB of hard disk (at about 55% capacity) 894 bogomips Linux kernel 2.4.20 Redhat 9
To this somewhat more modern configuration:
