Revision as of 19:28, 22 July 2007
I'm also active as MaxEnt on various MediaWiki Foundation projects. In my own network I run a mixture of OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Fedora Core, and Ubuntu.
On the BSD side, I'm presently running a FreeBSD backup server, I host various web sites (including a handful of MediaWiki sites) on a FreeBSD hosting service that recently upgraded to 6.2, and I'm in the process of adding to my test network a pfSense firewall and a Varnish http accelerator, also on the FreeBSD 6.2 platform.
On the Linux side, I'm in the process of switching over the remaining Fedora boxes to Ubuntu. I just completed my first successful netboot / local mirror installation of Feisty Fawn using apt-mirror on an OpenBSD host (mirror is set up for i386 and AMD64). The stupid thing chewed up more disk space than I anticipated, but in the end it worked well.
I PXE-booted my FreeBSD backup server quite a while back, but I didn't set up a local installation mirror at the time. I stumbled upon this wiki looking for the best method to manage a local FreeBSD install mirror. Hopefully this site will get me started and I can contribute back a few refinements along the trail.
