Keg (the host this is running on) just had a catastrophic filesystem failure (2/4 disks in raid5). I have re-built the array in a raid6 container and taken a hit in storage to prevent this from happening again. Most of my data was lost so it may take a while to get everything back up and running.

Linux vs. BSD. After having read a few articles with differing benchmarks between Linux and FreeBSD servers I am going to do a few of my own. BSD's SMP support has gotten a lot better, so it should be interesting to see how the 2 stack up. My prediction:Security: BSDPerformance: Linux

The Ohio LinuxFest of 2007 has recently gone underway, and there were some very hopeful projects.

Day one of the Linux boot camp that I am running was successful! There was enough people attending to justify 2 sessions, and I got a lot of positive response back. So if you are in the Ft. Wayne area, swing by IIT next wednesday at 6:00 for a free Linux boot camp.
