Hello Everyone!
I am Frank15, an avid web developper and occasional linux server maniac (not necessarily in that order). Anyway I'm interested in web dev and servers. I have made my own server, that is actual online right now, and I want to hear about all your cool server setups. We all have heard how cool the TPB servers are, and how it all started out on a laptop running Debian (which is what my server is...). Anyway all this say, you wanna talk about your cool setup, let us now. You wanna how to setup LAMP on ubuntu, comment a question. Anything, I want to learn and teach, so go right ahead!

Well, once I discovered OpenVZ, things got interesting. It's got all kinds of interesting uses both professional and personal.
I've even got a container just for torrenting so the client can use its own VPN and be given the lowest of low priority so to suck up and much bandwidth as possible yet not interfere with anything else.

Yeah, ok is OpenVZ like containers in FreeBSD? whats the difference between VMs and containers? and on what OS do you run your containers most of the time?

OpenVZ is very similar in that it shares the host kernel, but creates an isolated environment running its own OS and system processes. Each container behaves like a physical machine completely unaware of the host and any other containers that may be running.
Virtual machines are isolated software implementations of a complete physical computer, kernel and all.
I pretty much stick to CentOS for what I do.

I am a website developer and I build my customer sites on local machines, for example; I've got a small Fedora server installed on a local machine running a dual core processor and 4GB of DDR2 RAM. Fedora 14 to be exact. I am able to share resources across my LAN with friends and fellow designers seamlessly. My Fedora install has sendmail installed for all of us to send quick messages to each other, we have printing services available and we are currently using another Ubuntu server at my neighbors house and it is used for data storage and acts as the Apache / File Server.
Not the best setup but it sure is fun to use and experiment with. I am currently holding and obtaining a few degrees in network administration, so all of this is fun as hell and the best to do for anyone, experienced or not! Just being able to jump into terminal, login as root and run a command like this (Along with some configuration editing) and watch you and your friends send stuff to each other, amazing!
Code: yum -y install sendmail-cf
cp /etc/mail/sendmail.mc /etc/mail/sendmail.mc.orig
vi /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
For me, it is harder to deal with CISCO systems and their BS. Configuring routers, copying a running configuration file to a startup configuration file, blah blah blah. Snore lol. That type of networking I find really boring, however it is highly needed. I just do not have the patience to sit on a network and configure 2,000 routers with the same BS every time, too much like being a Db expert, you think it would just...get old. But yeah, I like this thread and good thinking for people like us  .
EDIT: Just noticed I bumped the shit out of this thread

cool man it sounds like quite the setup, Ive heard that people using sendmail is quite dificult to setup properly, does it work fine internally and externally?

It's config files are difficult to work with. But it is an established MTA that works quite well.
Postfix is a popular alternative that I personally find easier to work with.
