Well the Shuttle PC is no more. The server has been upgraded. I now have a HP MicroServer.
This was a planned upgrade this time (or a sort of planned upgrade, the plan was brought forward somewhat by the failure of my mail server) and so nothing has been lost this time.
Once again the server is running Debian (Squeeze currently, but I intend to keep it up to date).
As My last server sufferd a rather embarrassing hardware failure I have replaced it with a new one. This time I am using a Shuttle X27D with 512MB of RAM running Debian 5.
Once more this Server is running so that I can learn new skills, including how to administrate a linux server. So far so good.
