All three systems are running FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE amd64, they work well.

There was some initial infant mortality but things have worked out and the bugs are mostly gone. Still tracking down a problem where article retrivals sometimes stall for 1-3 seconds, though they do recover.

Previous problems like above did not recover and caused no end of problems for customers.]]> General http://www.octanews.com/photos.php?itemid=46 Wed, 1 Feb 2006 14:41:25 -0600 New Frontends http://www.octanews.com/photos.php?itemid=44 Photo of the new frontends that have not been deployed as of yet.

Top system is running FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE amd64 - it kind of works.

Middle system is running FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE i386, it doesn't work well.

Bottom machine is running OpenSolaris nv_28 - it works very well, but is fragile.

I will be doing work on these systems over the coming weeks and bringing them online for customers to test.]]> General http://www.octanews.com/photos.php?itemid=44 Wed, 1 Feb 2006 14:10:00 -0600 Current Home of Octanews http://www.octanews.com/photos.php?itemid=47 The right side rack, from 1/2 way up to the bottom of the rack is the RFN project servers, and the server for mirrors.geeks.org.

The second-from-the-right rack is the main servers for Octanews, as well as the third-rack-from-the-right, top half with the white labels.

All of this gear is moving to a new home in the coming weeks, hoping to be complete by March 1st, 2006.]]> General http://www.octanews.com/photos.php?itemid=47 Wed, 1 Feb 2006 14:00:00 -0600
