First we tried to tweak the trac installation, which caused the heavy load, when running the spiders trough. But it turned out, that this doesn’t has the effect to recover the situation, since the trac tree is growing (with the svn tree and revisions). So the spiders have more to crawle and taking more resources away.

We checked our relations and we where lucky to find with waaf.net a sponsor for new server hardware.

Some features of our new ProLiant DL360 server we baptized ‘baikonur‘:

* Dual Core Processor
* 2 GB RAM
* Compaq Smart Array Raid Controller
* 2x 72.8 GB IBM Ultra3 10K
* 2x Gigabit Ethernet
* Integrated Lights Out

The migration was quite relaxed. svn.kvirc.de is a virtual maschine, so we did setup the new host and proudly racked it up at the bandnew hosting center of TMT Teleservice as first (sponsored) customer. The last step was to migrate the system over to the new host and change the DNS records. The outage was something about 5-10 minutes basically caused by the TTL of 600.

Looking into the Load Average I think we have enought resources for a couple of more svn revisions and search engine spiders.

That’s all, happy ircing, and happy developing.

IMHO it’s based on the good balance of community and a small amount of business booth and of course the visitors.
This year we was apart the Sidux Project. Didn’t heared about (much) before, but their slogan is Hot & Spicy! Maybe ‘hot’, cause it’s based on Debian unstable. Hopefully you won’t get tears if it’s too spicy. Anyways … if you want, you could take a look. My opinion is, this would be a good case for a Custom Debian Distribution, if there would be a requirement for it. But he.. everybody is free to do, what ever he want, if nobody else is restricted.
The talks I attended was in most cases excellent, some of them was funny … only one of them did really suck. Desktop Virtualision … after the talk, my question if there could anything else virtualized then the OS from Redmond, was answered with ‘Unfortunetly only XP’ … how lovely!
