So I actually pondered what my priorities are for Scummbox.org. And I put them in my .plan.

[scummboy@pants scummboy]$ finger scummboy Login: scummboy Name: Scumm Boy Directory: /home/scummboy Shell: /bin/bash On since Tue Apr 15 08:09 (EDT) on pts/0 from god.scummbox.org (messages off) No mail. Plan: scummbox.org priorities: * Upgrade to new OpenSSH package. * Check out new Samba (patched security flaw) * Consider upgrading to Mandrake 9.1 (newer packages) * MORE STORAGE This is rapidly becoming a must, though smbmounting files off the 80gb drive in my workstation seems to have fixed a lot of that. * More RAM 192mb is just sorta sad. * User Quotas Definatly a need currently. Hopefully a provider change will alleviate the need for this. Lesser Things To Ponder: * Consider installing/configuring Apache Doesn't make much sense currently... port 80 is blocked by Sympatico * Consider new provider This is more for when I move out... Look into a corporate Rogers package * Get rid of the Linksys Router It screws with SSH-based communications (proven via Google search by Hellsop). Look into Netgear. * Ponder Multihoming scummbox and installing routing software on it This would eliminate the need for a router, period.

So does anyone (that reads that) have any ideas/comments? I need all the help I can get!

er. yay? (I have no idea what I just read. except the login I know what that is. are you ashamed of your not so technical girlfriend?)

I am never ashamed of my girlfriend!

Its all just me pondering what to do to make scummbox better (not that there is any real flaw currently) :>

yeah but I dont know how to make it better because I am only technical in that I know HTML. I tried to teach myself php too but tripod doesnt let you use php so I couldnt see if I was doing it right

*hugs* Places like ionichost.com will let you do PHP.

okay! once I find the site that I was using I'll get an account there too

okay bebeh :)

I declare a new scummbox.org priority for tomorrow...get analognoise.com back online :p

hehe! Sounds good :>

it is sitting here looking so forelorn and such...all off and not on and such

We should try 9.1 on it.

You could bring it here, and we could install stuff on the 17" secondary monitor here...

this is very true...it is under consideration

rock!

Ar har! Request to come aboard, Captain Jamie!

Seriously though, all looks good. A webserver would definitely be nice and I agree with your ram prognosis (I honestly never expected to meet someone running less than my measly 256). As for apache, go for it. I tried it and found it extremely hard to configure (mainly because I am lazy and when I couldn't get php running with it within a couple of tries I decided to just give up and go with Xitami instead). Serves my needs though I am quite sure it wouldn't be able to handle much of a load. Your plans appear promising however, I look forward to the future of Scummbox!

I shall get Apache running when I have a net.connnection that doesn't filter out port 80... having a website that is on a non-standard port is essentially useless.

The RAM is a must though :)

Run Apache on a different port. Include said port in any URLs you hand out. :8080 is unlikely to be filtered, f'rex. People won't be going there other than when you send them there, right? As a plus, 'bots and crawlers won't find it. =)

RAM is cheap, go ye forth!

The only problem with running apache on a non-standard port is that firewalled people will be unlikely to view it (especially work firewalls)
