Connected to the board is a 500-GB +7200-RPM hard disk drive. Powering the whole machine is a 400-W ATX power +supply. One front-mounted 80-mm fan keeps the case and components cool. + +Software +-------- + +This server runs Debian GNU/Linux. There is no non-free software (not even +firmware) installed on this system. I even have plans to someday port coreboot +(freely-licensed and high-quality boot firmware) to my server's motherboard +(and I purchased a board for which a port should be easy). + +With the help of apticron, I keep the system up-to-date with proposed updates +and security fixes. These documents are served by the Apache Web server with +`mod_include` for SSI parsing. My mail server of choice is Exim 4, however port +25 is currently firewalled. I manage virtual hosts in Apache httpd and Exim +using [VHC](projects/vhc/). + +<!--#include file="includes/footer.html" --> |
