    4GB verses 8GB

    A good rule of thumb for modern desktop boards is to fill half your ram slots at minimum with the largest memory possible before it gets more expensive per GB to purchase more. This enables your memory to run in dual channel and / or triple channel (most systems). For example with 4 slots...

    Need help deciding on a virtualization product

    I actually do have a legal license for Server2k8R2, it's what BES is going to be installed on. After moving around ESXi a bit I have decided it's likely what I will go with.

    Need help deciding on a virtualization product

    I'll look into this more when I get home.

    Need help deciding on a virtualization product

    So I have purchased a new server that's going to be used for a home virtualization server. I have became fed up having separate devices for everything and the power bill that goes along with it. The server will run pfsense as a router, and a Windows2008R2 instance for a BES server, OpenBSD for...

    Backup Software

    I have been looking around for a while for some good, simple backup software. I need something that's made for local backups, preferably that offers some form of quick compression. I don't need to make an image of the disc or have a backup I can recover the OS from, I am interested in the...

    Easy, cheap way to integrate 4Gbps fiber or Infiniband?

    Trunking is by far the cheapest way. Your switch supports it, and almost any dual port network card should support it. If your lucky, your PC's onboard NIC's should support it as well.

    Reading tapes into Debian using a Mammoth-2 drive.

    Hello, I have a Sun Sunfire V440 server (Linux RIRESTORET1 2.6.26-2-sparc64-smp #1 SMP Wed May 12 21:24:38 UTC 2010 sparc64 GNU/Linux) that's running Debian 5.04. We are using this computer to try to read tapes from Debian, as we have thousands of tapes to read in (fun). The tape drive in...

    Crash course in IPV6?

    Hello, I have been working with networks for quite a while, however IPV6 is something that's never really came up for me. As I am doing some more certifications and eventually trying to run IPV6 at home, could I have some recommendations for a quick crash course in how to learn IPV6? I'm...

    Need to create a rack setup... any recommendations?

    If it does fit, have you thought out the cooling for everything? Seems to me like you may fry everything in there.

    Quick Server check

    Have you checked how well the onboard network card will perform? If you are building a server, a network card is one of the most important components. I'd recommenced a dedicated Intel network card. Also, when it comes to hardware, FreeBSD (which is what FreeNAS runs) is fairly picky with...

    Which the best router for a 100 Mbps connection?

    I would like to argue against those figures. I haven't found anyone else that is getting those same speeds. Imo, they seem overinflated by 4x or so. The common router operating systems cant do that much with limited hardware. I'm all for the custom Linux / Unix distro for the router...

    House networked with single CAT5E cable

    So let me get this straight, someone has marble walls and your wiring up their house as a favour? Something seems not right. As for how to do this, if you insist on using normal phones, tape two wires onto the end of a single wire. You can fish two through where the one was ran quite...

    Lots of packet collisions on my WAN port... ?

    Packet collisions are not the issue here, I have the same modem as the OP and I get this smoothwall (root) ~ $ ifconfig eth2 eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:06:29:CF:B2:72 inet addr:1.1.1.1 Bcast:1.1.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST...

    Issue with driver on Debian

    It's a sunblade 150, TI Ultrasparc IIe 550mhz, 768MB, 80GB (It's one of two, the other is better though (1.5GB, 330GB)). I got two of these brand new a few months ago, and they have decent specs. Eventually this may become my main router (hence pc being named router, tired of smoothwall). I...
