I built up a new LA...Sounds interesting, Dave... <br /><br />I built up a new LAMP server as well over the Christmas break to host a small Joomla site that serves mainly as my private test bed - but it's virtualized (under VMWare Server running on an Ubuntu 8.04 LTS box) and accessible only inside of my network and externally via Hamachi. My goal was to take at least one PC out of the loop, so this machine is running three VMs - the LAMP server and a couple of XP Pro instances - one to service my growing collection of webcams and the other to serve as my main work machine - Office, accounting apps, etc.). With the combination of VNC and the VMWare remote console, it's proven to be a real advantage for me here.<br /><br />I'm also playing around with low power boxes similar the one you built, except mine (an Asus eeeBox) is running my "TV" and does well for the most part. I do have another on the way here, though - an ACER Revo with a bit better graphics so an curious to see what the difference that makes.<br /><br />The low prices of hardware drives me crazy these days! But, it's a much better type of crazy than was brought on by the $100 per meg RAM did 20 years ago, though...<br /><br />Thanks for the updates - I always enjoy reading about your excursions into the technological world (I just don't comment much!)<br /><br />AlAl Sandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05507595667858120200noreply@blogger.com
