geezz.. first the dev server's sata harddisk gives up, and when we finish replacing and reinstalling debian, then mail server's motherboard goes dead.. this was yet another test case for murphy's law..

when things have to go bad, they will, and at the worst possible time

After all this turmoil, we have ordered a new server. An HP Proliant ML350 , complete with dual xeon processors, 4 GiB ECC RAM and SCSI harddisks in RAID1. It should get delivered by this friday it seems.

its been 1 year that i installed my mail server.. its been running flawlessly (it has to, its Debian..).. except for the power faliure during last year's deluge, and a ram upgrade, its continuous uptime could have been 365 days today

btw, this giant penguin is worth a look..
