| 00:44.09 | GGD | hey pl |
| 00:44.11 | GGD | plarsen: |
| 02:40.28 | plarsen | Sorry GGD - I was away. |
| 02:40.32 | plarsen | I'm here now |
| 02:40.37 | GGD | no prob man |
| 02:40.49 | GGD | a question about f12 and atom processor? |
| 02:40.58 | GGD | is there any issues with it? |
| 02:41.32 | plarsen | Not that I've heard. Why? |
| 02:41.46 | GGD | i have head that some chips are having issues |
| 02:41.59 | GGD | but i dont' know wha ind.. |
| 02:42.01 | GGD | kind |
| 02:42.15 | GGD | also what would you build for a home server box? |
| 02:43.05 | plarsen | http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_atom_four&num=1 |
| 02:43.59 | plarsen | I use redhat derrived distros because that's what I'm mostly comfortable with; and I feel they keep a stable and powerful distro around. |
| 02:44.17 | plarsen | For LTS I use Centos - for state of the art, hot off the press, I use Fedora. |
| 02:44.17 | GGD | i agree |
| 02:44.26 | GGD | lts? |
| 02:44.32 | plarsen | Long Term Service |
| 02:44.37 | GGD | ahh gotcha |
| 02:44.59 | GGD | i use centos for my lts as well as its stable as much as RHEL |
| 02:45.34 | GGD | but for my desktop its a tossup on Fedora and a few others |
| 02:45.49 | GGD | i mean for the home server box what would you use for hardware |
| 03:40.13 | plarsen | What-ever I have lying around. |
| 03:40.26 | plarsen | Only criteria would be "minimum" performance. |
| 03:40.41 | plarsen | You may want to find something silent and diskless if you can |
| 03:40.49 | plarsen | Many all passive cooling |
| 03:41.12 | plarsen | Or if you have a basement, you can get the old noisy stuff; be aware it usually eats a lot of electricity |
| 03:53.06 | GGD | ahh i see what about a mixture? |
| 03:58.53 | plarsen | Worst of both worlds ;) |
| 03:59.09 | GGD | thats what i am thinking |
| 03:59.09 | plarsen | It really really depends on what you want the server to do |
| 03:59.22 | GGD | web and file server |
| 03:59.24 | GGD | headless |
| 03:59.31 | plarsen | If you want a large file server, you need harddrives since SSD will be a bit too expensive now. |
| 03:59.31 | GGD | ideally if that makes sense |
| 03:59.37 | GGD | yea |
| 03:59.42 | GGD | thats what i was thinking too |
| 04:00.24 | plarsen | So there'll be noice. Getting a high-tower with room for 4-5 disks would work, or a special case with room for more disks. Investing in RAID could be benefitial, or it would be overkill |
| 04:01.23 | plarsen | If it's just a web-server, a quiet box with no moving parts is definitely possible. |
| 04:02.08 | GGD | but a combo of them? |
| 04:02.39 | plarsen | If you only want a single box as a server, sure you can combine them |
| 04:02.40 | GGD | it wouldn't be heavy duty or anything like you would find in a data center |
| 04:03.11 | plarsen | For instance, if you want to start playing with remote provisioning, you may need a large space plus a web-server to serve up the distribution |
| 04:06.22 | GGD | yea |
| 04:06.25 | GGD | :) |
