The best Reno has to offer is sort of "hobby shop" style stores. They can get more advanced hardware like RAID cards, but you can probably get a cheaper entry-level server from Dell or something and that will come with a warranty.

Hi. I'm looking for something to replace my desktop machine as the home office server. inexpensive is a key attribute. small would be nice. hardware raid that works well under Linux for *recoverability* (as opposed to increased speed). 'shutdown -h now' should result in an actual power down. after a power failure (when power is restored) it would be nice if machine powered up as well. maybe some kind of wake-on-lan functionality would be nice, if folks want it to sleep through long periods of inactivity. It'll be running samba and mysql, and I'm sure apache and postfix as well... and a some kind of IPSec tunnel. the mail will be pre-filtered... apache will be for internal use only... etc.. basically, I don't need much horse power. are there a places in town you'd recommend for providing inexpensive (though reliable) machines like this? - Ben _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient (s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
