Tomorrow...

Well after a lot of research and hard work the server's ready to drop off at colocation. There's still some grey areas but in all everything looks ready to go, better off there and running than sitting it home waiting.
So tomorrow I'll be driving down to RapidSwitch in Slough to drop it off, after which Michelle wants us to visit her grandparents who live in Farnborough; not far off from the facility.
Here's a quick rundown of the spec:
- O/S: Debian Etch 4.0 64-bit
- HDD: Software RAID 1 - 1TB
- MEMORY: 4GB Corsair
- CPU: AMD AM2 2+ghz
- BANDWIDTH: 3TB per month
Bit of a step up from the virtual server environment I get from SliceHost, but fingers crossed it should all go fine; had so much fun putting it together already planning the next incarnation ;-)
P.S.
Dark Knight is really really good, Heath Ledger has pulled off such a believable and terrifying character; have to see it again.
Update
Just got back from her grandparents; boy do they know how to cook a sunday lunch, lovely couple.
Server's online, it's stopped resyncing the raid drives thankfully, was a little worried about that but everythings loaded running and operating well.
Cat sitting next weekend, let's hope mickey isn't in one of his moods ;-)
All the best, have a great week people.
