Server End Game Plan

I am getting close to being finished setting up everything with the server and I have attempted to document most of the more interesting things that happened. My plan is to edit and touch the existing posts up a bit (e.g. I have replaced the Dell with a newer "hand-me-down"), as well as add a final one.

UPDATE: Not being a writer, or playing one on tv, putting all this together is taking longer than I thought it would. Not to worry though, it shall be completed!

It has also dawned on me that this server is completely ran by Linux. Having not spent much time with any Windows servers besides a class on 2003, I am unsure if that is more that Linux is overall better (perhaps, or maybe more so for developers, but I have no interest in the "religious" part of operating systems) or if it is just that free is so much more appealing than the pricey Windows server OS's when being on a low budget.

Home Server Part 1

Alright, so I started this project with:

• One computer tower (Gateway)
• A mouse
• Keyboard
• Almost no money
• No place to put it besides the corner of my bedroom
• And a dream

That being said, It is worth noting that I was not sure about what I was going to do with 3/4ths of a computer, the idea to make it into a server came later in the journey.

Computer Specs:

• Gateway GP7-500
• Pentium III (gotta love it) :)
• 320 MB RAM
• 10 GB Hard Drive
  
• OS Windows 98SE
