Successfully moved my blog to the new pc-freak
:)
I've successfully moved my blog from
the old pc-freak machine that served well for 12 wonderful years!
The old machine was Pentium 166 overclocked to 190 mhz with 160 mb
of memory and 2.5 GB hard drive (samsung) as well as another hdd
with a capacity of 3.2 GB. The machine was happily running apache,
exim, pop3 server, tor server, X with a wmaker occasionally, an
eggdrop, wu-ftp server, telnet server, ssh, well that's mostly I
might be missing something. It was a miracle that this machine has
been running for this long time. This machine was used as a primary
source for my experiments with ipchains, iptables, kernel
compilation, testing linux and other various operating systems as
well as using it as a place to gather with friends. It also has
served well as a primary shell access machine for friends. The
machine had been running Debian linux without a problem for all
this time. I've successfully moved most of the stuff from that old
machine to the new one on which I'm blogging this post is running
1.6 ghz pentium machine with 512mb of memory and 80 gb hard drive.
I've decided to migrate the old pc-freak machine from debian gnu
linux to freebsd. Currently the new machine is happily running
FreeBSD 7.2, most of the stuff contained on the old machine is
migrated including the user directories and passwords. The tutorial
I used throughout the migration of the users between the linux and
freebsd was the one located in the freebsd list that could be red
here .
