I would be interested to know if anyone is running their own webserver as I am. Not really any content there yet but it runs 24/7 all the same.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone else. What is the specs of the machine? What operating system etc.
Obviously an ADSL connection is a bit slow for an effective webserver but I do it anyway cos I am interested in servers/networking and like the idea of physically owning my own tiny part of the internet.
For anyone who may be interested the specs of my server are as follows:
Fedora core 7
Dual 1Ghz Pentium 3
768Mb RAM
1 x 4Gb HDD mounted on /
2 x 2.1Gb HDD (RAID 0) mounted on /home (document root/database content)
I have 2 name based virtual servers:
http://www.findabrush.com
The main domain for the site if I ever build it.
http://www.seanbranagh.net
An address for me to easily access administration tools I installed on the server.

Do you have line of sight to your friends house?
Where did you get the antennas from, and how much were they?

I have perfect line of sight accross a valley. I got the equiptment on the internet somewhere. Few years ago, can't remember exactly where but the antennas were £115 each and the 2.4Ghz extension cables running out to the antennas were £30 each!

Hmmm... gives me an idea - but I thought that kind of power antennas were illegal in this country.

I bought that equiptment from a UK site. It has been up and running for about 4-5 years. If you notice I also have 2 satellite dishes on my house for which someone told me that planning permission is needed. I live in the middle of the country. Noone has said anything to me yet!

I think the legal limit is 20db. Although I am currently running the access points at full power the link still works on reduced power (less than 20db) if ever anyone tells me I have to change it.

Not if you are running standard wireless kit Liam - 20dB is the limit... There are various options available if you want to do something more too. Quick intro here:

Have you seen the two antennas on my house btw?
Which provides about this coverage:
Those antenna's are from Solwise, although for future access points we are working with a Antenna expert at Sheffield Uni who designs them and is getting a pile built in the far east.
