| + | We've got 2 ProLiant 6400R systems. They're pretty substantial. See the [[hardware]] page for full details. | ||
| + | The primary system is named **bud**. It will likely host most of the production services. The secondary system is named **budlight**. The systems have equivalent specs, except that **bud** has a second (currently unused) NIC. | ||
| + | |||
| + | We have a history of naming our systems after Anheuser-Busch products. I (Craig) have no idea when or why that started, but it has nothing to do with the fact that I've worked at A-B for the past 4 years --- SLUUG has been using the names before I was a SLUUG member, and before I ever worked at A-B. Of course, I did push to keep the tradition and selected the names of these 2 systems... ;-) | ||

| - | The primary (larger) system was to be called **bud**. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get Debian to play nice with the hardware. Our secondary system is called **budlight**. Currently, that's our only system, so it's effectively the primary. | + | We originally tried using a Compaq ProLiant 5500R for **bud**. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get Debian to play nice with the hardware. The original **budlight** was a loaner system, courtesy of Craig Buchek. |

| - | **Budlight** is actually a loaner system, courtesy of Craig Buchek. We're not sure what we'll replace it with at this point. We may just buy a replacement system for Craig and use the current system. We may build new systems from components, or we may buy a used server off eBay. | + | |
