Personally, I like the idea of our club maintaining our own server. It gives us a flexibility in doing what we want to do, experimental or community-wise. The Xen and Xen-type hosting services are nice, as you get your own root, but it can get expensive per month for the level of service (bandwidth, storage and CPU) that we currently enjoy. I agree that a 1U would be fine, with a couple 150G drives. We can even RAID-1 them, for redundancy and still have copious amounts of space. I know a local vendor that we can get a 1U with 2x150GB SATA drives, SATA RAID controller, 2x XEON 2.8 (or is it 3.0?) GHz, with rails and 400 W power suppy for about 3,200$. More complete details available if desired. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
