True, although if it's easy, I wouldn't mind taking on the task just to do it for a sense of accomplishment. :)

Really? Back when I bought my server, it was wayyyy cheaper than anything I could find as far as consumer grade hardware with the same kind of specs.

I take it your 'old server' was consumer grade hardware? I had an itch to build myself a new gaming rig, so I gave my old one to my son. Still pretty sure his will be fine for another 5 years.

Same. I have two Archlinux VMs, one of which does all of my BBS/FTN related stuff, the other hosts my Mystic setup I use to keep up with the times, but isn't even up 24/7, and then the third is a newly made FreeBSD VM, with hardly anything on it. None of them have a GUI.

I kinda chuckle when I give 2 CPUs and 4gb RAM to a VM that I do BBS stuff on. :D

Regards,
Nick

.... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
