My Box
Well, frankly, there is nothing very impressive about my box. It has fairly low configuration by today’s standards, but has enough to keep me happy!
Here is what it contains:
| CPU | : Sempron 2800+ s754, |
| Motherboard | : Asus K8V-VM Ultra, |
| Graphics | : Onboard (northbridge- VIA K8M890, southbrige- VT8237A) |
| Memory | : 1GB DDR400 RAM (64MB goes to graphics) |
| HDD | : 120GB Seagate SerialATA |
At present five Operating Systems inhabit my box:
1. Debian (currently Etch) – My favourite. With each passing day I seem to love it more! If I ever be able to set-up a home server, this would be my Server OS!
2. CentOS 5 – Thinking about RHCE!
3. PC-BSD 1.5 – Its considered as an easier way into the FreeBSD world. Heard almost everyone speaking respectfully about FreeBSD!
4. Test OS – A partition kept aside for experimenting with distros.
5. Windows XP SP2 – Ummm… am helpless here. My company uses some proprietary softwares which run only on 2000/XP.
In case if you are interested in knowing the partitions I have, here it is:
| Partition | Partition_Type | File_System | Size | Mounted_As | Comments |
| /dev/sda1 | Primary | NTFS | 30 GB | WinXP_C Drive | OS and the Program files |
| /dev/sda2 | Extended | ||||
| /dev/sda5 | Logical | FAT32 | 10 GB | WinXP_E Drive | Drive for sharing data between windowz and linux |
| /dev/sda6 | Logical | FAT32 | 20 GB | WinXP_F Drive | Multimedia Drive |
| /dev/sda7 | Logical | swap | 2 GB | swap | swap memory |
| /dev/sda8 | Logical | ext3 | 10 GB | Cent OS 5 | Thinking of RHCE! |
| /dev/sda9 | Logical | ext3 | 15 GB | /home | My storeroom. Master /home |
| /dev/sda10 | Logical | ext3 | 5 GB | Test distro | Any Linux distro that I want to test. |
| /dev/sda3 | Primary | ext3 | 10 GB | Debian | My main back up+server OS |
