Debian-woody(DMZ) - email server with virus scanner and spam filter, web server, inhouse dns server, NTP (time) server Debian-sarge - backup server, file server through samba, some perl development, trying to run MythTV Smoothwall(headless) - firewall
I wish the ivtv drivers would mature a little (cable on my WinPVR-250 card is extremly grainy) and I'm still looking for a decent driver for my printer so I can hang it off my file server. I could probably tweak the box for MythTV and get a better picture, I just haven't had the time to play with it lately. I don't use a linux desktop too much (my woody machine doesn't even have one installed) - I work at home and the company I work for is a MS shop so its just easier for me to run XP on my main development machine. My woody box has been running so smooth that I almost forgot about it :-) uptime of 84 days (would have been longer but I put it on a new ups system), the logs are emailed to me and today was the first time since Nov 20 that I logged into it.
