Upgrade Progress

I ripped apart my server and Kristie’s machine over the past few days playing with various pieces and parts in different configurations. Unfortunately I was only able to use the CPU out of her machine. The ram wouldn’t fit, and I simply wasn’t willing to take my server offline for 5-6 days to get everything running the way it should. Oh well… this machine is getting to it’s end life anyway.

I did have a chance to play around with the installation process a bit on her machine prior to ripping it apart. After installing the entire system as far as I could without having a real IP 4 times, I’ve pretty well got it nailed down. I’m still a bit concerned about the mail setup, as well as the Gallery and Wordpress setup. Unfortunately, these 3 pieces can’t be setup correctly without a true net connection.

Luckily, I’ve got it setup to dual boot right now though, so I can work on the system during the day or night, and still boot into my current system to keep my mail flowing and have the blog up and running.

Just with it wouldn’t take so long. :-P
