Servers
I've been working with/using Apache, Sendmail, DNS and Samba for a number of years. I started using Qmail/vmailmgr/Courier/SquirrelMail a couple of years ago.
Most servers are relatively easy to setup on a basic level. A text editor and/or Webmin will do the job. Tools like linuxconf and Mandrake wizards just cause headaches.
The main focus here will be personal and small business servers. Anyone with a fixed IP and a 24/7 internet connection can benefit from running their own servers. For low traffic sites like this one a basic DSL connection is just fine.

- Quality GPL tools that keep you and your customers happy.

- The Uptimes Project
- The Uptimes Project is an attempt to collect data on system uptimes from various operating system and hardware configurations.
Jul '07: http://uptimes.hostingwired.com/index.php and http://www.uptime-project.net/ are dead. I don't see any similar projects. I did find a uptime daemon that logs your best 10 uptimes. Much better than my current/best uptime script (bottom left).
Oct '08: Giving Uptime Party a try. Its not directly related as its a monitoring site, i.e. network availability VS server uptime.
