COOL: New Chucktips Server

Posted by Jason on Saturday September 22, @05:34PM
from the little-server-that-could dept.
If you have had some trouble trying to reach our website today, it's because we have just put our new server on-line, the NanoII PC! The transition went fairly well, but I had compiled some options into the kernel that I decided to remove, thus interrupting the site while I rebooted and such.

I think we now have one of the smallest FreeBSD servers in the world (grin).

The NanoII is not much bigger than a CD jewel case. I bought mine from Linux-Works, but I didn't buy it with an operating system because I wanted to run FreeBSD (of course). It was very refreshing to not have to pay the micro$oft os tax.

Even though the folks at Linux-Works named it the NanoII PC, the name on the box was Mini Book PC and I found a few other places that sell them under that name. Here are a couple of links- check it out, it's really a cool little system!

note:
I also forgot to create my chucktips email account for the site. If you emailed me earlier and your message was rejected, please try again. It should be okay now.

Hello:

I have lots of interest on your small FreeBSD server. THE IDEA JUST ROCKS!!! ROCKS!!!

What are the chances that you will post a install on your mini FreeBSD install on the site.

If not can you atleast share your experience installing the system with me.

I am very interested on also having a small FreeBSD box for my cube at work.

thanks
