Computers that work with this project
Looking for some different type's of computers for our project in Central IL.. will this type of server work DL360-xeon30x2 I figure for 100 bucks for server hardware it might not be a bad choice.. I know my netbook didn't work with CENTOS as it couldn't work with the ethernet built it but will server hardware work or is it more trouble than it's worth.

For cheap, where power consumption isn't an issue, I've used these : IBM Thinkcentre With 2GB of memory it runs XIPAR with no memory swapping. I'm building up another node running ACID, with no problems so far. In addition I have a flock of different scripts running at different times, again no swapping. And my experience with this particular EBAY seller has been great. No financial interest on my part, just a happy customer. Bob Poff WB3AWJ Allstar 27784, 27783, 27826, and coming soon 28260.
I'm new to both Asterisk and Linux, but I've had the software running on a few different boat anchors including a 10 year old Compaq Presario, a 10 year old Dell Dimension and an IBM T40 notebook. I'm currently using the T40 notebook. Linux seems to be a lot more resource friendly than Windows is, so you don't need anything fancy to make it go; I think a basic install uses a couple gigabytes of disk space and right now my notebooks is using a whopping 62 MB of memory. Our group is using a few Dell Optiplex 755 systems in both the small form factor and ultra small form factor sizes and they work fine too. You can pick those up on Ebay for less than a hundred bucks. If it used to run Windows and it has an NIC card that works, it will probably work fine. Hope that helps. 73, Jim KH2D On 1/30/2012 10:14 AM, Bradley Haney wrote:
