Hi, I'm planning to set up a system as described below, but I want to hear if anyone else on this list has had any experience with a similar setup before I put it into production use. It is a Dell PE750 with: - Celeron 2,4 GHz/128 kB - 512 MB ECC DDR (400 MHz) RAM - 2 x 120 GB SATA HD (I plan to mirror) - CERC SATA RAID Controller (6 channel) - C04 STAR1, Add-in CERC SATA RAID cntlr RAID 1 - Adaptec SCSI 39160 controller The SCSI controller is for a PV100T DAT72 external backup tape drive. I plan to run the following services: - firewalling (for this computer and a win-box behind it) - mail (qmail, possisble multidomain) - SQL database (for mail accounts) - samba fileserver (for a windows box that servers webpages (asp-stuff)) - dns (tinydns, just a few domains, zone-transfer to secondary provided by ISP) - backup service to DAT tape (amanda?) - some monitoring (like mrtg and stuff) I need uptime (no backup mail-server here..), so it should be possible to hot- swap the SATA disks (I have only SCSI experience, never tried SATA before). I would like advice wheter to select 4.10 or 5.2.1 (is acpi working well on this one?). Any experience is also greatly appreciated, I'm also open for reccomendations on software/hardware adjustments). -- Øyvin
