Introduction This was originally just a simple document to help me keep track of the installation and setup of the linux server I was assembling. As such, it can be a little rough at times. It really is only on the ''net because I thought it would be useful for those trying to set up their own personal server at home.
The real purpose for setting up this server was to act as a sort of permanent file storage location (I download a lot of crap) and perform some server functions for my daughter, mostly for protection and SPAM filtering. Ultimately it had to perform these functions:
- Be cheap - in fact, I am trying very hard to build it entirely out of parts at hand that aren''t being used. This isn''t just cheap -- it''s free. At least so far -- it helps to work at a software place with a lot of legacy systems. That also means everything has to be non-hardware dependent so I can upgrade piecemeal if needed.
- Be flexible for storage -- I want the system to work with my Windows boxes and my linux boxes. And anything else that might come up.
- Be able to run some extra services -- mostly an HTML proxy server to keep my daughter from accidentally hitting porn sites (she''s still too young to do that on purpose), a mail proxy for spam filtering, and maybe some other things that will come up as I stumble across them. Basically, it needs to be the Internet gateway for a majority of my network. I have a firewall already in place for safety, but this is more to regulate what goes on inside the system -- like a firewall for a WAP, for instance.
All this means Linux. No question.
Hardware The initial hardware list is:
- Zeos Pantera server case -- just lying around in my shed, it has 10 drive bays so it is perfect for this
- MB-8500TVG motherboard -- junked dell
- Pentium MMX-233 -- from junked Dell (not the same as the above MB)
- 64MB of Ram on SIMMs -- combined from both machines
- Diamond Stealth64 VGA card (no on-board video) -- in the Pantera
Samsung SCR-3232 32x CD-ROM -- removed could not be detected.
- Sanyo CRD-820P 24x CD-ROM -- from my grandmother''s compaq (really)
Standard Microsystems Accton 10/100 EN5038 NIC -- from my old HP (my daughter''s computer now -- no ''net connection yet) Removed -- apparently HP screws with the BIOS on these things and Linux can''t even see it.
- Standard Microsystems Accton 10/100 EN5038 NIC -- from my officemates PC. Despite being identical to above, works like a charm.
- ST31220A IDE drive (1GB) -- from the Zeos, drive A
- Maxtor 90432D2 IDE drive (4.2GB) -- from Mom''s computer, drive B
A real monster, eh?
I''ve got a 400Mhz Cyrix which I''m tempted to put underclocked on the 233Mhz board. It would eliminate some fan noise, but I''m not sure I can set the correct power.
Operating System This is really a little more flexible than the hardware. I knew I would need a small OS to keep within the HD limitations, but it had to be fast, too, since it would be running on such a slow machine.
