Today I decided to start the replacement of my web/mail server. The main reason was that it was running a rather old copy of FreeBSD, and upgrading to a recent release wasn’t going to be an easy task, so migrating onto new hardware seemed the obvious choice. Initially I installed FreeBSD 6.2, but then had a change of heart and went with Ubuntu server. Good though FreeBSD is, Linux is rather more ubiquitous these days.
After a few hours fettling I’ve now moved all the websites across to the new server, the mail side of things will follow in due course once I’ve worked out how to migrate the mailman powered mailing lists.
And all this whilst waiting for a parcel that wasn’t coming. Multi-tasking at it’s best!
He must have had help…
I’d have used Kubuntu. Ubuntu is too common.
KDE isn’t a lot of use when you haven’t even installed X :)
I don’t care :)
Your server move appears to have screwed up the feed in sharpreader :(
Maybe I’ll restart it and see wheat happens.
