+
+Hardware
+========
+
+This server is an AMD Athlon II X2 250 Regor dual-core 3.0-GHz CPU sitting next
+to one 2-GiB DDR3 SDRAM module, all on an Asus Micro-ATX motherboard and sitting
+inside a very old and bare Gateway chassis. 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/).
