Guess the first two comments were little ado about nothing.
What to do here... Well, a bit about me perhaps. I am a 40-something computer professional. I live in the metro-NY area and have recently begun working for a company in the travel industry, in charge of taking the mess that is their server rack and making it into something good as well as maintaining all of the internal PCs.
That was actually my charge when I took the job in late November, 2005. Here it is, about 3 months later and all of the crappy PC workstations in the company are gone. The Dells that were here have been reloaded and more Dell PCs have been ordered. Everything from the workstation end is far more stable now.
A bunch of old generic servers have been removed and replaced with Dell 2850s for the mail and databse servers, a Dell SC1425 for the outgoing mail (we do a lot of that) and an older Dell 350 (1Ghz) for the firewall.
There are a bunch of Compaq servers in use as well, but those seems stable, which leaves me with 2 machines to be replaced, but those really need some work done on the software side before that can be accomplished.
From an OS side we are WinXP on the workstations (except for mine) and Centos on the server (and my workstation) side.
I just recently moved the company from an old java servlet based chat system to a nice open-source program call Crafty Syntax. I am a big fan of open source and fortunately so is the president of the company, so I can spend the time to do work on Open Source projrcts and donate the code back during work. That would explain using Centos, no? :)
On the "rushtrader" side of things, I have 2 main projects. One is a Direct Connect hub for the trading of Rush concerts. That would explain the monniker, no? Rush tacitly allows this and as a result we are quite careful to not allow anythign commercially released into the mix. The other project is to manage the chat forum for a Zebra, a group with roots in New Orleans and on Long Island.
