I doubt anyone will really care, but I am migrating to a new server today so you might notice some disruption as it gets migrated to the server room under the stairs.
Strange as it may seem, I think I am going to miss the old server – a Sun Ultra 60 with 10 disks. It may have been a little on the noisy side, but it was a real server (old Sun workstations are built more like servers than desktop PCs) with a non-Intel architecture. I will even miss the muted growl under the stairs; the new server is so quiet I might not even notice a power failure.
Still the new server should be a little quicker and should eat a little less electricity.
Update: The new server is in and running in the final position. All well so far – excluding the fact that it needs my Eizo monitor rather than my ancient Sony (I really want to use the Eizo where it will be used). And of course I now discover that OpenSolaris has a really useless boot screen that doesn’t show any details. Must find out how to get it to display proper geeky text messages.
