[App_rpt-users] Hub Computer

[R. Wayne]

I like what I am reading. I especially like that we can create a private hub 
and a public hub -- multiple hubs. There are other features you and others 
have mentioned. In some way I might be able to help another ham club with a 
hub of their own. Who knows...

I run VMware. No big deal to install and run. I'm running Debian
Wheezy now. Moving to Jessie soon. I've also installed on Linode.

Oh, okay. I get you now. But I am curious how you got it into  VM. We run
Virtuozzo and my boss did offer me the opportunity to do so. That would put
my machine on a nightly backup, behind the hardware firewall, etc. I can
change the drives easily enough to SSD and lower the heat. That sure kills
HDD's.

You said "My boss is letting me put the server in the data centerso I
have unlimited bandwidth."
I read that as your server, his data center. All I was saying is that
make sure you use the most reliable server you can.
Dual power supplies and mirrored RAM ware a example of that.
I have been running our hub as a VM in my data center for the past 4 years.
So I take advantage of the underlying robust host hardware.
