He doesn't have a lot of sys admin expertise, so the Raq4 Admin interface is nice for his 75 or so virtual domains that he hosts. This server has software that is horribly outdated (sendmail/bind/etc) and the Cobalt Linux OS seems to be dieing out so we're looking for a new solution. > > The ideal server: > > A 1U rack mounted server with 500 MB to 1GB memory, 80 or more GB disk, Network, CDROM, Video out (no serial cable installs please!) and a license that allows me to install/configure any version of linux that I want to on it. (most likely SuSE, Debian, or Slack) The most important part is this last part. The server will be co-located in Virginia, but beforehand we will wipe the drive and install an OS and the software required. > > I want full control over the software (apache/mysql/php/qmail/etc) and I have my own "control panel" so he can easily adminster new domains. > > Any suggestions on good hardware that will do the trick? > Dell PowerEdge 1650 1U servers have worked flawlessly in my environment for over a year. I ordered the first one pre-loaded with Red Hat Linux 7.3. It has 3 40-gig drives in a hardware RAID5 config so effectively it has 80 gigs of available drive space. -- Carl Patten <myok at ogzr.org> _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
