Strangely I've never taken to using Tolkein characters as server names, but one certainly wouldn't run out of options if you decided to. My current naming convention phase is to use famous mathematicians and philosophers. My laptop is leibniz, my web server is spinoza, and this new system I'm building will be descartes. >> DEC 21041 Tulip 10Mbps NIC > > You know, the interesting and wonderful thing about all of this is that > this NIC would probably serve you perfectly today as it did back then. I bet you're right. The DEC Tulip was an awesome NIC. And 10Mbps is certainly good enough for my LAN. >> And for comparison, here's what my new server is based on: >> >> Supermicro X11SSH-F with Intel C236 chipset >> Intel Xeon E3-1220 V5 >> 64 GB DDR4-2133 ECC >> 200 GB Intel SSD >> 2x 4TB WD RE WD4000FYYZ > > Blah, not interesting! :D It's all gigabytes and gigahertz, no real > challenge. :D The challenge is that the skylake arch is very new, so there may very well be some driver issues or other quirks. Although the CentOS install was completely uneventful. My usual M.O. is to use an older generation in the interest of stability, but this build is needing to last for about 5 years so I figured going with the latest platform would in the long run be the most cost effective. And I couldn't resist the shiny newness! -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
