Since we were moving the employee co-located servers to a new vlan I decided to do a reinstall on the server. I don’t care much about Gentoo anymore, and Ubuntu server was nice and shiny. I tried reinstalling only to find that one of the procs died on the server and the harddrive was full of errors.
I found a nice deal on
geeks.com Rackable Systems Dual Opteron 246 HE 2.0, 4GB RAM and 120GB IDE drive for a nice price ($130 sweet) and got it within 3 days.
So now all of my sites and Diane’s are back online and happy with the latest stable versions of all software and I even upgraded WordPress to boot.
You just have to do these things every once in awhile so you don’t get tooooo crusty, ya know?
