Main Page
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!

- Voyages Vietasie - Possibly the best travel agency in Montreal (Quebec), if not Canada.
Howtos
Howtos are mainly for me to document the steps required in case I ever have to re-do them again. Hopefully they will help other system admins out there, but I regret that this is not my primary objective.
Details
2012-01-12: All services are being migrated onto the Virtualbox virtual machine. As result some services are currently down such as Mail (both smpt and imap), PXE boot, rsyncd, etc. -Andrew 02:51, 12 January 2012 (EST)
Interpause.com runs on an Intel i5-2400S Processor @ 2.5 Ghz with 8 GB of Dual Channel DDR3 RAM and operates over a residential (4 Megabit down/800 kilobit up) fastpath DSL connection. Using the Virtualbox virtualization platform, Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit is used for both the host OS as well as the guest OS. All services run off the guest OS and all files are protected from hard drive failure thanks to the Adaptec 31605 raid controller (RAID 1 for the OS and for certain files synced every hour to an undisclosed offsite location; RAID 6 for all other files).
