After many months since my last upgrade where I planned to re-structure my network, I’ve finally configured the last machine. The rest were done pretty quickly, especially the gateway server (Linux RedHat 9) as there was no way we were going to go without net access. But I had to remove a little memory from this server to beef up another. The other old 450MHz AMD has since been upgraded to a win2k domain server running SQL server 2000 to compete with MySQL on the Linux server, also hoping to try exchange server but like, ewww. Now finally I have my previous 1.33GHz machine dual booting Win98, for all the old games like Quake, Carmageddon, MechWarrior 2, etc. and Linux RedHat 9 as a desktop. I’ve got another drive free on this machine on which I intend to try some different distributions of Linux, probably SuSe, Slackware, Debian, Gentoo, etc. But now I have a good place to develop some stuff on Linux without fear of taking the internet gateway down.

Well, that’s it. I’ve over excited myself with all this talk of servers, I need to go lie down.
