OMG ... this is just like the nighmare I had when I got the position of
server administrator ..... doing real server administration ... :P
As I have written in my last post, I am not what ppl would say .. a real
"server administrator"... :P .. My knowledge in Linux is above average, but
competent enough to ensure that we have a working server. I started this
position with just 1 server running everything, ie. apache, mysql, php,
postfix .... but now things have expanded that we have several servers
running dedicated services.
I would love to look into all suggestions, ie. VMWare, software RAID, etc..
but I don't think that I am competent enough nor have the luxury or time to
try these suggestions but thanks anyway.

A. Syadiqin
