<!--#set var="title" value="About This Server" -->
<!--#include virtual="/includes/header.html" -->

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/).
