Re: [LUG] Computer Suppliers

 

Hi Rob and Gordon

Just coming back to you on this. Space is a consideration at the
moment so I am going with a Shuttle. But I have got a second hand one
minus psu and hard drives. I'll get the make and model to you and if
you can source one for me I'll go for that along with a couple of hard
drives.

However, I will still need a pc as well. Space a problem still. I have
a new office but it is in another office so I basically have a desk
with an internet connection!

I need to set up the sever running on raid 1 with a Linux box
connecting to it. I will use it to set up and run Sage both as vmware
and also as an alternative. There are some ideas out there that
suggest ways of substituting Sage on the Linux. We will also be
setting up a lamp set-up and lookin at developing some in-house thing
or maybe sugarcrm.... The idea is to create a test bed in order to
look at migrating this office over fully to Linux and away from Sage
etc.

The desktop will need to run some photo editing packages etc. and run
videos but not compile.

I will also have a mac sat connected to the whole thing! I want to
also try to run rsync to a separate box. I need to understand whether
it is possible to sync data with a backup system so that if the first
box falls down it can be a simple matter to switch to the new one.

So quotes on the above etc would be useful. If we need to take this
off-list now please email me direct unless folks are interested in how
the set-up fares.

Thanks.
