Welcome to Interpause.com

Interpause is a web and file server that I created for my family and friends to share information and files.

It appears this webpage is getting a surprising number of hits. What brought you to my site and what would you like to see? Feel free to send me suggestions via email. Thanks!

Details

Interpause runs on an Intel Pentium Processor E2160 @ 1.8 Ghz with 2 GB of DDR2 RAM and operates over a residential (4 Megabit down/800 kilobit up) fastpath DSL connection. Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit is the current OS and all files are protected from hard drive failure thanks to the Adaptec 31605 raid controller (RAID 1 for the OS and for files synced every hour to an undisclosed offsite location; RAID 6 for all other files).

News

In the coming months, the server will receive a significant and long overdue upgrade. First, the processor will be upgraded to one that supports hardware virtualization, specifically an Intel Celeron Processor E3400 @ 2.6Ghz. RAM will also be upgraded to single channel 4GB DDR3. Then, to minimize recovery time (ie. downtime) in case of a hardware failure or upgrade, Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit will be installed onto a virtual machine. Finally, all services will be migrated over the the guest OS (ie. the virtual machine) so that the host OS can be upgraded as well, hopefully by the summer of 2012. -Andrew 02:23, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
