Yay – my dell new server is now online :D

July 16, 2008 – 11:15 pm

Finally I got the good news from my new hosting company

I can hardly wait to get it FreeBSD 7.0 installed on it and setup a nice vhost system with Lighttpd + PostgreSQL. It’s gonna be awsome.
The server I’m currently using is ‘only’ Dual core XEON w/ 3.5Gb ram, and some random SATA drives, so the improvement should be huge :D

I’m quite excited, because its going to be my first server ever without Apache and MySQL installed. Or well, atleast until some stupid customer or what not (Biesbjerg?) demands it ;)

If I can find the time, I will write a guide on how I’m going to configure my server (Lighttpd, PostgreSQL, Dovecot + sendmail, quota, fast-cgi php5), it might be useful for someone ;)

Let me know if it has any interest to you guys :)
