transparent proxy (useful if you have a kid who loves world of warcraft)

Server step 6

aptitude install dk-filter pyzor razor

cpan -i Mail::DomainKeys

Server steps 5

These proliants (mine DL140) supposedly had some management tools in old days
Some links

Script for HP ASM
HP Support manual
HP collection for DL140

Server step 4

Time to move old mail to the new server

root@proliant:# aptitude install imapsync

root@proliant:# imapsync --host1 mail --user1 user --passfile1 secret1 --host2 localhost --user2 user --passfile2 secret1 --delete2 --noauthmd5

And don't forget to create password file secret1

That should take a while

Server steps 3

This is the server, huh

root@proliant:/home/# aptitude install sendmail uw-imapd clamav-daemon mimedefang squirrelmail imapsync uw-mailutils

root@proliant:/ cat /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

Server steps 2

root@proliant:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0

#iface eth0 inet dhcp

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.1.13

netmask 255.255.255.0

network 192.168.1.0

broadcast 192.168.1.255

gateway 192.168.1.1

auto eth1

iface eth1 inet dhcp

root@proliant:~# apt-get install aptitude

root@proliant:~# aptitude install openssh-server

Now I can sit in something comfortable and o the rest remotely

Server steps

First it has the PXE and doesnt have cdrom. For some reason it doesnt want to boot from stick. OK, I have PXE, right?

On the second server (Gentoo in that case):

tftpd, dhcpd, nfs. Can not get server install working but desktop is ok. So it will be desktop, just sitting in some remote place, can not tolerate taking off turbo jet.
