[Server-devel] uruguay server hardware

[John Watlington]

There has been some questions about what hardware Uruguay is using  
for school servers.
They are placing a second tender right now, but the first batch of  
servers were:

(An IBM x3105)
1.6 - 1.8 GHz AMD processor
2 GB RAM
160 GB disk (two drives, in RAID 1)
three NICs  (one WAN, and two LAN)
     the intent was to have a WiFi network inside the school
    and another for outside the school, but they are currently
    only using a single WiFi network.
Six USB slots
DVD-RW for backup

These machines stop working at temperatures higher than 40C.
(Crash, not nice power-off)

The RAM size was chosen to better support Squid and Dansguardian.

The small disk size is due to the costs of disks when bought through
server vendors and there not being XO backup at this point.

Watchdog and remote monitoring boards are recommended (but not
currently installed.)

All errors are mine,
