Following up to our previous conversation about Lenovo/System76...
Well, I was drooling excessively while looking at that System76 website, and finally the wife felt sorry for me and told me to proceed. ;-)

Awesome! And those specs are nasty, this is gonna be a great
computer.

What OS are you planning to run? Are you going to do gaming
stuff?

Let me know how it goes! I'm typing this from my System76 Oryx
Pro 10 as we speak :P It runs Baldur's Gate 3 and Grand Theft
Auto V well, which is really all I need hehe. Oh, and the
Civilization games as well...

I'm sure you'll be pleased. Congrats on the acquisition :)

Thanks, and thanks for helping me to look hard at System76. I had heard
of them in the past but never thought too much about them, but man...

It'll be running Slackware Linux, no doubt about that. It's pretty much
all I use, although I have a mini-computer here running MX Linux which I
like pretty well. I may break down and drop a Windows (7) partition on
this one for some gaming, as well. Can't wait to get it!

I used to run Slackware on one of the early Raspberri Pis and it worked fine.

Slackware has an ARM port still going so it should be doable:

If your new server has hardware virtulation support, then one option could be to pass the hd controller (ie: a LSI sata/sas card) through to a VM running either trunas or nas4free... Then make a ZFS raid mirror from the drives...
It will give you more controll than a dedicate nas box ever will.

Vorlon,
Yes.. it has Virtualization support. It is a dell PowerEdge T630. It has hardware Raid with hot swappable drives (i think). Right now i am still waiting for the funds to start buying drives and memory :) I was just on Amazon and saw 14tb drives for less than $120 but i want to go with all SSD drives because of the performance. I may choose to go with a mix.. Run VMs on the SSDs and use HDDs for mass storage. Hopefully in a couple of weeks i will start moving things to it. :) I hear TrueNAS is a great OS to run.

I know for Windows 8.1-11, there are certain features disabled and it will nag you, but didn't know that about Windows 7. But hasn't Windows had product activation since Windows XP?

Vorlon,
I plan on moving both BBS operating systems over to this server as well as moving a bare metal Windows 10 laptop to a VM on the server. I also plan on setting up a few more Linux servers for testing. I like to crash and burn on new things before i set them up on VM's that i care about because they often have things i care about on them. :) Right now i am trying to determine if my Server 2019 Datacenter license is able to be upgraded to Server 2022 for free. I have heard mixed things. Most likely i will just upgrade and see how it turns out. I am also not sure if the upgrade will benefit me at all. :)

It only stops you modifying some of the eye candy pretty much, and yes it
will nag, but only once at boot... after that you're pretty much home free until you reboot.

Haven't had to reinstall it for a bit, but generally let it do all the

I cant count the times i borked some server setup that i was learning. So i just install onto a test VM and once it is working and i can replicate it properly, I do it on a production server. My terms are funny because productions is just some tools i use. It is mostly just a home lab. :)

Not sure what i did wrong but i setup a VM of Server 2022 and tried to use the license and it didnt work. That is weird because my reading says that it should have worked???? The server so far runs great.. I do have 2 test VMs on it that are very small as i still need to buy storage for it. I only have a single 240gb SATA SSD on it. I plan on filling the other 7 bays with 2tb SATA SSDs and upgrading memory to 384gb. I was also looking into upgrading the CPUs to Xeon 2690 v4 CPUs.. They are cheap on Amazon and Ebay. Right now i have dual 2650s. I am still kind of undecided on whether i want to use Proxmox as my main OS or Server 2019 Datacenter. What are your thoughts??

Don't worry, I still get them mixed up at times.

What people also get mixxed up is that VT-d needs chipset support as well as support in the CPU. So it's a double hit in those requirements.

Most recent Intel cpu's have VT-x built in (Even consumer cpu's), but not
all have VT-d...

Yup, my main server is a NUC. I run ESXi on it - which gives me a web console to it, and makes it easier to run VMs. Proxmox would probably do the job as well, but I've never used it.

My NUC runs about 6 or so machines, but I have many others defined on there that I've started to try something out...

This is exactly what I plan to do once I need to refresh my home server...

Yes.. it went very smooth. I was very nervous though because I never did this and was afraid of breaking everything!!!! Luckily it went very smooth. I know I had to setup some update library for those who do not have a subscription. Overall it was a smooth upgrade.

I think that the only part that makes me nervous is when i add drives to my server and expand the volume. I assume that the gpart bootable USB will work on this as it worked on my Ubuntu server. That is the thing i love about tech. There is always something new and exciting to learn.
The other thing i would love to learn is some javascript code that will work with my SynchroNet BBS. I would love to write a few small things. Just to know that i was able to do it. :)

Vorlon,
Everything is a learning process. I recently got my Dell PowerEdge dual Xeon up and running on Proxmox 8 and I setup a cluster. I then moved 2 out of 3 of my VM's over to the new server. The Dual Xeon runs them so much better than the makeshift i7 with 12gb of RAM. lol I still use that Proxmox to run my Windows 7 VM that runs a small web server and a BBS game server and my Renegade BBS. As i upgrade the PowerEdge with RAM and SSDs, i will add more to it.
My day job also gets in the way of my hobby.. I guess the only difference between my job and my hobby is that my hobby allows me to work on the computers that are mine. lol

isn't working and i am not getting any errors.. UGH!!! lol The things i enjoy make me insane sometimes!!! hahahahaha

You Amiganet messages did escape from your system, and there was even a few replys to them... I would have responded myself, but got beeten to the punch line.

You should just be able to mirror the fsx/fido settings, but use amiga net address... They are alfter all using the same technology.

Hello,
I finally got it working. I was using FSXNet and TQWNet as a template for the setup. There were a few differences that I didnt know about until i figured it out!!. :) A big difference was that there is an internal prefix for FSXNet and TQWNet that can not be used with AmigaNet. Also, I was using the Fido Code to route messages to the groups when i needed to use the internal code. On the other networks I setup, these Items were the same.
Like my earlier message, it is the fun in figuring these things out. :)

That's the fun thing about this technology! It might be dated, but there are still things to work out. Once you get things going, it's then just a matter
of keeping things in order and small tweeks to the system.

If you break it, you get all the bits that fell on the floor and then it's
your problem.... %-;
