so I recently made an impulse buy, a local business was shutting down and they where selling off all of there servers and equipment. here is what I got:
(2) Linksys EtherFast 4116 16 Ports
(1) Dell PowerVault 725N
(1) Dell PowerVault 132T
(3) Dell PowerEdge 1650
(1) PowerEdge 2550
(7) PowerEdge 1655MC
(3)PowerEdge 2850
(2)PowerEdge 2950
(2) large server racks,
cords, upc's, ect. ect
Picked it all up for just over 300$, so ya.
I know the majority of it is pentunium 3 stuff, so not too great, but I would like to find a purpose for all of it. I was thinking things along the lines of a firewall, some NAS stuff, virtual appliances, webservers, Mabye a baewolf cluster is someone can find a basic tutorial, ect, ect.
I dont care about power consumption, and I would just like to play around with it before I sell/ some of it, so dont say "throw away that garbage" and stuff like that.
All recommendations need to be simple enough for a 14 year old like me to be able to understand it. I have quite a bit of linux experience, so I am comfortable with that, I consider myself a pretty advanced user, but I cant do everything.
let me know any suggestions!
I just want to furmilurise myself with stuff like this, because my lifelong dream is to be a systems admin...
also, if anyone has a download link to esxi 2.5 or anouther thing simular that would run on the 1655's, that would be much apreciated!
