I want to know about your servers, and yes, I know they probably run Ubuntu SE or BSD. I want to know about the software being used along with your hardware, as the hardware can't do anything without software to guide it.

I'll start off...

Hardware
Producer/Model(if applicable) - HP ProLiant ML100
Processor - Intel P4
RAM - 512MB
HD - 4x Seagate 40GB

Software
Operating System - Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Enterprise R2 SP2
Web Server - Internet Information Services (IIS)
Database Management - MS SQL 2005 / MySQL & phpMyAdmin
Reflective Programing Languages - PHP, ASP.NET, CMFL, Ruby-on-Rails
Application Server - ColdFusion MX 7, ASP.NET, PHP


I've done enough bragging, I want to hear everyone elses :):):)

I know it's bad to use your router box as a server too but meh :D

Hardware:
233 mhz Pentium II.
256 MB of DDR Ram
6 GB IDE HD

OS: Debian 4.0
Services:
Webmin (for the awesome iptables configuring tool, it's also blazingly fast compared to shorewall)
Eggdrop IRC-bot :P
I used to run a Quake II server on this too, ran nicely.

My server beats all of yours! :biggrin:

I ran a p2 ~300mhz with 256mb of ram and a 8 gb hd for about 2 months as a classic doom server :-p, then one of my friends pcs stopped running and I scrapped my server to help him out.

Got given all the boxes for nothing by people upgrading, just had to buy a couple of secondhand HDs. Theres not a lot of grunt so they can only run one application each. Its all installed in a non profit club so money is tight.

Athlon XP 1800+
1.5 GB RAM
20 GB HD
Three network cards (two cable, one wireless; wireless is the only one being used for now)

It runs Vista believe it or not. :)

It's not designed to do a great deal though, it's more of a test box. Also, if I need to access a piece of removable hardware which can only be interfaced with Windows and can't be understood by VMWare (for the latter, that pretty much means everything), the server does the job.

Too old for anything else, but makes a great file server for backups and streaming music. Will get more space when I have money...

How about my servers? More correctly the ones I set up and run for work.
I don't know what the hardware is, suffice to say they are between 3 years and 3 weeks old.

When I set these up the most useful distro was Suse 10.1. I had a Linux novice at the pointy end and I work 800 km away. The Linux novice is now a knowledgeable tech which makes my life much easier and we are using other distros. Leaves me more time for software development.

#1 Samba server and domain master. Has about 25 Windows users connected and half a TB of space.
#2 DB server Firebird 2. Main DB is around 10GB.
#3 Mail & pptp vpn server
#4 Redhat 8 Hylafax fax server. Uses a Netcomm 8 port fax card that has drivers that only work with Redhat 8. It processes up to 500 incoming and outgoing faxes a day with ease. I have a backup machine but I would like to fix the driver to work with something newer.
#5 VM Server. Runs about 4 VMs with VMware server.

#6 VM1 Ubuntu Edgy I think Web server
#7 VM2 Ubuntu Edgy intranet Web server
#8 VM3 Ubuntu Edgy Open SSH Web server
#9 VM4 Windows XP document management system. Handles merging of word documents and PDF files.
#10 VM5 - development copy of #6.
#11 Another VM server for running remote access Windows machines.

I think thats all.

Mine is the best.
166 Mhz
64MB Ram
4.6GB Harddrive
Debian Etch
And it runs an Apache with Mysql and everything that belongs to a basic setup.
Only Problem is with php-sites, they are pretty heavy on ressources.

My server:

Sun Cobalt RAQ4
AMD-K6 450 MHZ
256 MB RAM
120 GB SEAGATE HDD 7200rpm

Runs Debian 4.0 (Etch), with no gui (this box hasn't got a graphics card :))

Software: Apache, MySQL, Bind, iptables, dhcpd...

I use this server for a little proof-of-concept, it is set-up to act like a paid wifi hotspot. So, you can log-in to the wifi network, but you'll only see the page I have set-up. Once you pay, you get full access to the internet.

All managed by the good ol' iptables :)

For thos who do not know what a RAQ4 is, look here: http://www.fsugar.be/pmwiki.php?n=Debian.Raq4

It does very well :popcorn:

Heres my server:

AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (clocked at 1,6 GHz)
512 MiB Kingston DDR SDRAM
10 GB Seagate PATA HDD
250 GB Samsung PATA HDD
nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 (128MiB)
2x100Mib/s ethernet
No keyboard
No mouse
No display

Services running:
SSHD 4,3 (OpenSSH, With X Forwarding)
Apache 2.2
MySQLD
PHP 5.4
GnuMP3D 2.9.9.1
Samba
Webmin

It's running 24/7 in our basement.
The computer (except the second ethernet card, and the 2 hdd's) were found as trash.
It constantly keeps 4 tunnels alive, and soon it will also keep an SSH VPN alive.
It also handles random stuff like music/video streaming (GnuMP3D), fileserving (Samba and SSHFS), webserver with PHP and MySQL (Apache 2.2, PHP 5.4 and MySQLD).
It never seem to be overloaded, even with all services pushed to the max... it's will to serve is strong :P

I did have all the big HDD's in another computer until the power supply went *poof* and I've been too lazy (and cheap) to get a new one. My 'server' acts as a file server and web page server as well as my haven from the children and their incessant desire to watch Cartoon Network.](*,)

One day I'll figure out how to get past Roadrunner and serve up my own E-Mail. :)

I decided to become more open source, since trying to install PHP5 and MySQL onto IIS screwed it up. Instead I used XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) which I find much better than Microsoft Server software.

256MB RAM
1 x 40GB HDD

Running:
Ubuntu 7.04 PowerPC
LAMP
Samba
SSH
VNC

It doesn't serve anything up to the outside world, merely stores my important files as a backup in case my current computer goes wrong or I get a new one. LAMP runs purely as an internal development environment for putting together and testing sites before I unleash them on my web host provider. It's my old main desktop machine. VNC is a nice extra to have; I can set torrents or big downloads going remotely and run them on the quiet, low-power Mac Mini rather than leaving this noisy desktop going all day and night.

I'm in the fortunate position of working for a small (6 employees) ISV/IT consulting company where I have installed 3 Fujitsu Siemens RX 200 S3 (Xeon5110@1600MHz/2-4GB RAM/146GB HDD) in the production environment at our colocation:
- 1 mainly for MySQL,
- 1 mainly for Apache2/PHP5 web applications
- 1 for reverse proxying (Apache) and front level MTA and antispam (Postfix).
The colocation also holds 2 FuSi RX 100 S3 (P4@3.2GHz/1GB RAM/250GB HDD):
- 1 for fallback RP and MTA.
- 1 mainly for web app. testing (Apache2) and other tests with Samba/Krb5-auth/FTP etc.

In the HQ we have a single FuSi Econel 100 (P4@3.2GHz/1.5GB RAM/250GB).

All 6 are my adopted kids :-)

Last but not least I have my tiny home server Nemo, a FuSi Esprimo AMD64 3800+/1GB RAM/1.3TB SATA HDD running postfix,proftpd,apache2,mysql and all the goodies.
