It would be great to hear some recommendations on good setup
for a web and news server. I have one system that I would like
to use. It is a P90 PCI, 8mb, 720mb ide drive.
I know that I will have to do a lot to this system.
More RAM, SCSI harddrive, SCSI adapter, ethernet adapter, etc..
It would be very helpful if I could get some advice from those of
you who have some experience setting up quality servers.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Things to suggest:
1. Best CPU
2. How much RAM (minimum, optimum, overkill).
3. Best adapters to use.
4. Hard drives (type, brand, size, etc..).
5. Software (web server, news server, tools, etc..).
6. Where to get the best prices.
etc...
When I ask for the "best" I don't mean most expensive. What I
mean is what works well without going overboard.
What would be helpful too, is if anyone knows where to get good deals on any
of the suggested hardware. We could all benefit (if we share price info).
I hate to buy something and find out that I should have bought.... Or
"you paid how much!... you should have gotten it..."
Thank you in advance.
Joel.
