Site is Back Up

Yesterday I finally had some time to work on the servers and get them back up. All images should be displayed as normal.

Right now the setup I have at home includes 3x servers (Firewall, Web and App). My plans are to migrate all these servers into one box and set them up as virtual machines with VMware. I have already got the hardware and the box built, I’m just working on the final hardware adjustments.

Here are the box specs:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Memory: 4GB DDR2
Storage: RAID 1 with 2x Sata2 500GB (for VM images only)

I’m hoping that this will allow me to run 4 VMs at an average level. The boxes I have right now are all P2 and P3 anyways.

You can have an idea of what my “server tower” looks like from the pics bellow. I’ll keep you posted on my advances.

The Ontario Linux Fest - Saturday, 25th October 2008 - Toronto, ON

About The Ontario Linux Fest

"The Ontario Linux Fest is a non-profit event that brings together professionals, students and enthusiasts who share a common interest: Linux and Open Source software.

First and foremost the Ontario Linux Fest is a conference designed to present compelling topics of interest to users of Linux and Open Source software. These topics will span a full range of interests that may be technical, motivational, social, legal or essentially topics that hold current interest. Attendees will find out what is happening in the Open Source world from the people directly involved.

It's also a social event. With a Welcome Party and Wrap-up Reception there will be lots of time to network and socialize with like-minded professionals. It's a great event to find new friends, or business partnerships and perhaps employers.

The event was years in the making and was born from the organizer's inspiring experiences at the Ohio Linux Fest. Those two future organizers, Richard Weait and John Van Ostrand, contemplated staging a complementary event in Ontario. It took years for the ideas to coalesce as the Ontario Linux Fest."

Images not being displayed - Site is down

Hi all,

You might notice that some of the images on my blog are not being displayed. We are having some work done at my house, so I had to shutdown the servers for the past week.

Servers should be back up by next Wednesday. My apologies for any inconvenience.


Vic.
