animal.supermegaultragroovy.com is live!

This post marks the first new entry since I finished migrating to my new server.

After giving up on virtualization (really, there wasn't much benefit for the sort of thing I'm doing) I decided to go the familiar route and install Ubuntu on the PowerEdge 1900 system. After practicing the migration to two other servers, I felt I was ready to finally flip the switch on the new setup.

Last night I completed the final leg of the switch by handing the task of PPPoE connection management and routing to the new system. Now all the services (www, svn, routing, ssh, etc) that would normally get served by piggy are all coming directly from animal.

The last stage of the migration will involve tracking down and mirroring all the data that isn't overly obvious. Once that's complete, I will probably blow piggy away, install Ubuntu, and try to maintain a hot backup of animal for any hardware emergencies that might occur. Of course, with this class of system, that shouldn't be as much of a concern as with my $7 motherboard special.
