Even the last part was a big problem. It turned out that the company
\nthat delivered the package, delivered it to the wrong address! Just
\nconsider, a package with a value of approx. 1000EUR delivered to the
\nwrong person without any authentication of that person. Incredible. In
\nany case, alternate will hear from me about this. <\/p>\n
Setting up the server itself also wasn’t easy. It turned out that the
\nrocketraid 2300 card was perfectly recognized by the BIOS but that the
\nRAID card didn’t recognize any of the hard disks attached to it. After
\na lot, and I mean a lot of trying, I finally found out that the drive
\nwere recognized only after booting up a linux system in the regular way
\n(on a disk attached directly to the motherboard), after loading the
\ndriver. So, apparently, this is some sort of compatibility problem of
\nthe card with the BIOS. Anyway, I managed to get an installation
\nrunning and I am now booting from CDROM as a work around using a home
\nbaked boot cd. <\/p>\n
But now in any case, the server is up and running and it is already
\nhosting most of the services. As you are reading this, the page is
\nbeing served by the new server, and should be noticeably faster than
\nbefore. The only thing it isn’t fully configurted yet is
\nthe mail server, but that will take some more time. I have already
\nprogressed up to the point that it receives e-mail and that the e-mail
\ncan be accessed with imap. Now what remains is making sure that imaps
\nworks, and setting up basic spam prevention and spam filtering. If I
\nspend some time on it, I should be able to get everything to work over
\nthe course of this week so that I can switch off the old server. <\/p>\n
