  1. I've decided to get a better cpu, so I'm now thinking of going with http://www.ebay.com/itm/371842504210 this server. I don't think I would ever need 144GB of RAM.
  2. While I understand that it is in Beta, and not fully tested. My use case is more of I want it, rather than a I need it. So while it would suck if I have a catastrophic failure, I don't think I'll be losing any sleep if it does.
  3. The one I'm looking at is this server. I've been checking out FreeNAS 10, they use bhyve as a hypervisor. It seems very nice. I could run FreeNAS and then set up a Linux VM and run minecraft off of that so as to not disrupt the rest of the system.
  4. That seems like a very good reason. I like that idea. I did just read about FreeNAS and jails, so I have options.
  5. So I'm intrigued, what would be the benefits of running everything on a VM?
  6. So I was thinking of running FreeNAS, I've had a smaller server running for a while and I was just running Fedora Server with Samba to share with the Windows Machines. I've been wanting to tinker with FreeNAS though, so this might be a good time to start.
  7. So, I've been watching LTT for a few years now. I have a server question, this place seems to be the best place to ask. I want to get a server, I'm looking at a Dell R710. My goals for this server are to run a NAS, a personal (modded) minecraft server, and maybe if I have room run a virtualization server (I've always wanted to), and a torrent server. I was just wondering if a R710 with two E5507 CPUS and 48 GB of DDR3, would be good. I may add some big HDD's for storage, and maybe an SSD or two for some fast storage for Minecraft and Torrents. Would this be good, is it overkill, is it not enough? Server hardware is just out of my realm of knowledge at the moment. I appreciate any advice I can get, thank you.
