Stuff at work

I got my rackmounts!! Okay, they're really Signal's, but still. I got to hook them up, install stuff on them, and now I'm configuring them. Ohhh.. feel the power. (Okay, they're not ALL that powerful, only 2.8 x86-64 Xeons with 1G ram and 40G raid1 drives, and there's 3 of them, 2 to replace old servers, but still.) We (that being Signal) is slowly moving towards a more professional network and server setup. We have a real switch at the core now (24-port gigabit switch, that), most of the computers are 2 GHz or better (only one now is below my specs, and that'll be fixed in the new fiscal year at work starting Friday). We're migrating our Exchange (ugh) server to one of the rackmounts, and then two linux boxes (our production and development web servers, to be precise) to the rackmount. And we're ordering a SATA-raid 1 hot swappable bay for our linux file server so that we can move all of our file serving (and not just the "downloads and installers" folder) onto the linux box. Then we'll just be using windows for the bits of our web app that run in ASP/IIS (devel and production), our MS SQL servers (devel and production) and our exchange box. Our linux mold grows. :) (of course, it would help if I had pre-downloaded the x86-64 RPMs for SuSE 9.3, instead I have to wait a day or so for them to download because I only had the i586/i686 folders.)
