[10:01] ubuntu LAMP [10:01] oo blah , brb being sent to me car to get something lol [10:01] LAMP = webserver ready for use right out of the box [10:01] then install openssh-server ASAP [10:01] if you want remote login that is ;-) [10:01] yeah i will need remote login [10:02] have to put that bug back in [10:02] another thing , can you have a server hosting webpages , and have the server connecting my pc's in my house ? [10:02] parkerw207, is the system an old PC? [10:02] there is a lot :P [10:02] ooo i havent bought one yet [10:02] this is theory work at the moment [10:02] i have tons of old pc's around [10:02] but i was thinking of buying a dedicated server [10:03] if it's older then say 4 years it may not be compatable with the server kernel [10:03] thats cool , well my budget would be about 2000 [10:03] in which case you will need to boot into recovery mode and apt-get a kernel that works [10:03] ahh i see [10:04] well , i'll buy a dedicated server [10:04] dedicated? how so? [10:04] right , i am a IT student so i dont knwo everything , as you can tell this is just prelimary research [10:04] i thought you could buy dedicated servers ? === mralphabet [n=user_nam@71-89-33-80.dhcp.stpt.wi.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-server [10:05] or is that just a phrase i misinterpreted lol [10:05] then look at KVM / QEMM for emulation you should be able to create a buch of vurtual PC's === ivoks [n=ivoks@37-242.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-server [10:06] ooo cool , another thing , could i attach a load of hard drives to the server so that everyone on my linux network got saved to the server rather than their terminals? , we have a habit of laptop break sessions :P [10:07] sure [10:07] is it easy to do ? i aint thick , i am trying not to sound it :P this is just a bit of research [10:08] where is this machine going to be physically located? [10:08] is this a business use server? like something in your office? or are you going to have it colo'd somewhere? [10:09] well it was going to go in my house somewhere [10:09] this would be for the family [10:09] and to run my theoretical website lol [10:10] I just needed to know what kind of scale we were talking about here [10:10] like , 7 terminals [10:10] and the server will be used to host my website [10:12] for your windows clients, you can use somehting called roaming profile where all the user documents can be redirected to the linux box [10:13] oo , were all switching to linux soon [10:13] i'm using linux at the moment [10:13] been using it for a while [10:13] for linux clients I know you can do something similar, but I am not familiar with it [10:14] oo i see , well it is easy enough to have the server hosting the website and the home network at the same tie ? [10:14] or would that slow things down [10:15] if you are buying anything recent, that type of use isn't going to touch the cpu / ram [10:16] hard drives you may want to splurge on and make sure you get something at least 7200 rpm if not 10000 rpm with some decent size cache === [miles] [n=sysadm@unaffiliated/miles/x-000000001] has joined #ubuntu-server [10:16] even still, 7 desktops are not going to put a dent in a decent machine. [10:16] oo great , well i have 2000 for a server [10:16] is that enough? [10:17] . . . you could buy the dell 440 and be fine, those go for $400 [10:17] oo cool :) [10:17] how easy is it to host your own email service? [10:17] or bump up to the next chassis that has more room for hard drives and you go up to around $7or800 [10:19] so that would be around...650 pound [10:19] whatever it works out to be [10:20] We recently bought a Dell server for about 400 [10:20] I think it was a similar spec to a 440 [10:20] That was single disk drive [10:21] oo that is good , is ubuntu good as a server? [10:21] I use it on my file server and haven't had a problem [10:22] oo thats ok then [10:22] linux is meant to be the best at servers right? [10:23] it works well for what I use it for . . . best is in the eye of the beholder [10:23] 7 machines? and simple desktop computer could serve 7 machines :) [10:23] yeah i see what you mean [10:23] It's a lot more flexible than Windows, and has a large number of server applications [10:23] oo i see [10:24] so i could use an old pc? [10:24] i have 60 computers, whole / is server from old p3@1.1GHz [10:24] s/server/served [10:24] ooo i see [10:25] but with SCSI RAID [10:25] would i need the gnome desktop environment though? [10:25] is that not a drain on things? [10:25] where? [10:25] on server? [10:25] yup [10:26] servers are best if they run only the things they need [10:27] yeah true [10:28] though some of the administration is "easier" through the gnome desktop if you are not familiar with the command line [10:28] though, I would suggest using the command line for educational purposes [10:29] yeah i will do [10:30] well thanks for tall the info guys , been very helpfull , now i have to go [10:30] have a nice day all [10:30] aol.com [10:30] it makes one wonder === stelis [n=se@82-71-4-26.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has left #ubuntu-server [] === ivoks_ [n=ivoks@35-127.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-server === lull [n=lullabud@12.24.42.67] has joined #ubuntu-server
