Peter's Japan blog

Since my old mail server here at home started to get short on disk space and wanted a more quiet one to put in my room, I got hold of a new one. The new one is a Pentium 3 450MHz, while the old one was a Dual Pentium 2 @ 233MHz each. The new one has a passive cooling which makes it very quiet. Put the new Fedora 8 on it and it works fine. Setting up Courrier IMAP was less pain than the previous time. It's now ready to be put into the closet, but I'm gonna put in more hard disk space in the future though to use it as a file server as well.

It just happens to be this week that my old trusty SMC router practically died on me. Need to reboot it everyday or the WAN connection drops at the end of the day. So I installed a temporary router that I still had lying around so everything is okay, that when I'm going to Japan in 10 days, that I can check my email on my server.
