how to build a cheap and fanless server? It's main uses would be web and file servering, but it could be a day when I'd like to add some streaming and mailing capabilities as well.

my SheevaPlug just died, and I need to look for new device to replace it. My goal is to build a fanless, low power consumption, linux server. Currently I am thinking of purchasing a QNAP NAS device (TS-110 model) and installing Debian on it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop running Ubuntu (not the problem) and I want to connect to a FTP server. Filezilla works really well and so does good old ftp. But, the FTP server I need to connect to will only accept connections from a white-list of addresses. My office IP is static and is on the list. Thus, connecting to this FTP server from the office is a piece of cake. But, I want to connect to this FTP server from home. Connecting to it directly from home is impossible because I have a dynamic IP address here at the house (surprise) so we can't just add my home IP address to the list.
Fortunately, I have full admin rights on the network at my local office and I installed cygwin on the Windows 2008 server. I can successfully connect to it using ssh. That gets me half way there. I can securely connect to a machine that is allowed to talk to the FTP server. I'm half way there. Now I want to figure out how to forward my ftp port over ssh through the server at the office and to the FTP server that I really want to connect to.I've tried various incantations of ssh and I can't seem to come up with the right combination. Anyone have any experience doing something like this? In affect, I want to use ssh as a simplistic proxy and it need only really handle a single port.
I want to try and set up a old cheap computer with ubuntu and run it as a home server to toy around with. how to get started? (Where to get an old computer? Craigslist? What specs should I be looking out for? Wireless vs. ethernet? What software to use? ssh?)

Supports 2 monitors at 1920x1200 or 1600x1200
Works with Linux.
3d performance isn't much of an issue, since I don't play computer games. I use the computer mostly for programming, which is why I like having the large resolution, so I don't have to scroll around so much.
Does anyone had any experience with fanless, low-powered power supply units (PSUs)like PicoPSU? Please share your experience.
I am also interested to hear about experience concerning the fanless cooling solutions and/or power-scaling for low-end CPUs like Intel's Atom, AMD's Neo or Via's Nano.

I have achieved the fail over using keepalived but not sure how can we replicate the data from one server to other seamlessly and have them in sync with each other. My prime requirement for this project is end user should not notice the fail over and replicated copy of data should be available on the secondary as well.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm out in a village and we get more powercuts than I like, and recovering the journal on my server is getting rather irritating. I'm looking into getting a cheap UPS, the powercuts will last usually a maximum of 30 seconds, so I only need a few minutes.
I've been looking at:Plexus V 500VA UPS
Plexus V 1200VA UPS
APC SUA750I Smart-UPS 750VA
I know near to nothing about these things, my question is will those work with a machine with a 700W PSU? How do you know? The 500VA doesn't really mean much to me. Ideally I'd like to get my desktop on there too, but that's more for convenience than anything.
Will any of these do the job? Any Linux compatibility issues I should plan for? Any recommendations from personal experience is greatly welcome Edit: I will be happy with a UPS that can inform Linux power is down, and get the server to cleanly shutdown straight away, I'm more interested in a clean shutdown than maintaining power to use the machines during the outage. Edit 2: Can UPS devices be piggybacked to one another to provide extra uptime? i.e. Could I run 2 of the 30's so when the first runs down, the 2nd carries on?
I'm looking for a PCI RAID card that will support 4 SATA disks in RAID 5.
Essentially it must be possible to monitor the raid from the Linux operating system (FC10+), I will not have physical access to the machine most of the time, so I need to be able to talk to the RAID card from Linux (like the 3Ware one does), It is possible to get reasonably priced RAID cards that can be monitored from Windows.
I have a problem where the resolution during bootup, shutdown, switching users, and the theme icons look very grainy & cheap. It might have started when I booted in failsafe graphics mode and after that, it never went away. Could be wrong about how it happened but is there a way to get out of failsafe mode? Or a way to reconfigure default, normal graphics?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm in love with my Opensuse 11.2. Love my KDE 4.4. The only thing I miss from my Ubuntu installation, is the ability to use Boxee. I would be more than willing to compile Boxee from source. I only have 2 problems with that:
1) I don't know where I can find all the build-deps or what they are for that matter to build Boxee.
2) I'm running on a Netbook. Yes, my measly Intel Atom is no fun for compiling and building.
What are my options/what can I do to get Boxee up and running on 11.2? I've tried searching on build service for an RPM, but I think due to legal restrictions, Boxee can't be on there.

Trying to install SW 13.1 (on DVD) on the following system: M/B Intel: DX38BT Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 - 2.66GHz, 8MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB, Socket 775 Memory Corsair Dual Channel 8192MB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz Memory (4x2048MB) Graphics Diamond Radeon HD 3850 Video Card - Viper, 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0 P/S Ultra 1000W
My goal is to install the i386 build on one partition and the 64-bit build on another. I have been away from Linux for a while and am sick to death of Win7, want to come home. :-}
Booted on i386 side of DVD, system freezes after a couple of lines that start with ATA2. Does not respond to 3 finger salute, ctrl-c, nothing. Have to press reset. I have tried both huge.s and hugesmp.s kernels
Booted on 64-bit side, comes up fine. I performed the install, selected for automatic lilo install. Lilo install hung but I was able to reboot. I booted off the 64-bit side again, entered the following: huge.s root=/dev/sde3 rdinit= ro It booted fully to the login prompt but the keyboard does not work, no input.
As in the title how can I do it? The configure option --enable-so seems default.
