Server broken :(

Well, I was working on my Linux testing server, and it stopped working for some reason… I tried to restart, but the computer wouldn’t even boot (even from a CD). Upon unplugging all the IDE devices, and only leaving a CD drive in (a different one, in case it was faulty for whatever reason), it still wouldn’t boot :( . I guess I won’t be using that for a while…

Anyways, I’m buying a new server on eBay, so it isn’t that bad (all I need to do is wait for it to get shipped to me).

Old server:

  • Celeron 300 MHz
  • 4.3GB Quantum Fireball lct and 4.3GB Seagate hard drives
  • 48X CD-ROM drive
  • 192MB membory

New server:

  • Pentium III 650 MHz
  • 8.4 GB hard drive
  • 48X CD-ROM drive
  • 256MB membory

Don’t say that it isn’t that powerful… Linux makes any computer look powerful :D . Besides, it’s only a server for testing stuff.

EDIT: Computer arrived today, 30th June 2006. That company on eBay was quick!
