Took delivery today of 2 Linksys wet54gs5's that I won on eBay. These are no longer available in the primary market and kick myself for not getting them when I had my chance. So I got 2 used ones and set them up. So one is in my other server ...

In a continued effort go get my former Insert host back, I setup an old AMD K6 366Mhz Toshiba Satellite laptop with DSL (Damn Small Linux) on it - with the Compaq USB2.0 card (CPQUSBCB) to attach my 200Gb and 350Gb drives. Now my music, movies, and tivo/mpgs are served ...

Fixed a slight cable problem. I had previously had a Linksys BEFW11S4 serving strictly as a 4 port switch to enable all the lan connects on my vm580num1 vmware server. However, this has been dropping connection lately and I think thats behind the latency on the site. So I ran ...

Setup new wet54g tonite for the keg-room tivo. It replaces a wet11. No need for setup disk - just point browser to 192.168.1.226 for default addres, and configure from there. Used the default Linksys username/password to get in, but changed right away of course. That was the easiest one to ...

Migrated new vmISP (ISPConfig) instance from dev (vm380num1) to non-dev (vm580num1) now that I find I like the DNS management. This instance is much more geared toward running a full ISP with all kinds of web, ftp, mail, and invoicing - but I just wanted the DNS part.

Prepping for Daytona, and what I'll be taking with ... I removed the wrt54gc from use. It had simply been doing 4 port switching for me and nothing more - so I replaced it with a bulkier befw11s4 that I had in stock. Now I can take the portable model ...

Migrated new VubuntuS instance from dev (vm380num1) to non-dev (vm580num1) now that I find I like the Request Tracker, SSL-VPN and gui desktop enough to keep this one around for good.

Using another precompiled virtual machine appliance, Im now trying to get an easy to use DNS server - easy for admin, usage and reporting. So Im trying the ISPConfig package instead. Its Debian Sarge based, and is ok, but nothing stellar so far. Two very import things to get this ...

Converted pluzzi.com's big brother instance to a new frames based design. When the quantity of hosts to manage becomes large - its unruly and this approach makes it a bit more manageable while still only have the one bb server. Unfortunately due to hackers and abusers, the site must remain ...

Using another precompiled virtual machine appliance, Im now able to use Nagios, Request Tracker helpdesk tickets, and other features using the VubuntuS instance. Its called VubuntuS and there are some very interesting installed applications in this instance. This one is based on Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy" and worked pretty much right ...

Found that my new test virtual machine Qmail Toaster instance is losing 20 seconds every minute. Time sync is all [censored] up !! To fix this, I found that installing the vmware tools was required, and that I had to change a setting in the vmx startup file for the ...
