As some of you may know, besides this blog, I do have some other servers running online and one of them is visualserver.org which is used to providing free shells and free hosting. The server physically is in my house and its running 24/7 backup up with a APC ups. The connection is from upc.cz, cable line at 30 Mbit/s. Now this is not the update, the update is the total migration of the hardware from the old KME case to a new and better Cooler Master case. Besides this the server got new power supply from LC-Power with 420W output, new CPU fan, a clean up of the GPU cooler and the newest Ubuntu kernel 2.6.24-21.

One of the updates should have been the bios update, but I’m not 100% sure its such a good idea. The problem is the testing part, as I can’t test the new bios firmware on some other motherboard, before upgrading the actual server. At the moment, the server will stay with the original bios and I will see in the future if to really do the update or not… its a risky business.

Here are some server specs: Intel Pentium D @ 3.2Ghz, 4GB DDR2 Kingston, 200GB SATA2 Samsung, DVD-RW LG, Cooler Master Dominator case, LC-Power 420W Black Silent power supply, APC 700VA CybeFort II ups and running Ubuntu Server 8.04.2.

So anyway, this is it… the impressive updates :) If you are interested in the server or the hosting part check out the web page: visualserver.org
