August 15, 2010 Church Hardware Linux NPO's Open Source 0

You can read about the donation here.  I have three IBM x335’s on the way with dual p-4 xeon 2.8 ghz cpu’s, dual 36 gig 10k rpm SCSI drives with hardware raid 1, 4 gigs of ram, all the cables needed including ILO, and rails.  All for the cost of shipping.  Why am I posting about it here?  I run the network at my church.  This will be the first time I can start something like this from the ground up and document what I do, how I do it, and what hardware and software I do it with.  I will also be able to show just how much free software can do and still integrate with an established Active Directory layout as well.  It’s something for other potential NPO clients to be able to see what some creative thinking can accomplish for little or no cost…:)  Stay tuned I’ve created a whole new category for this..:)
