Work is underway configuring the Gateway PC for GB7HU and providing the vital Internet link to the site.
The Gateway PC is based on a Jetway JNC92-330 dual core Intel Atom Mini-ITX motherboard, fitted with 2GB of memory and a 640GB server-grade Western Digital "Caviar Black" hard drive, this is mounted in a 1U rackmount case. The system requires approximately 25W of power - vital when the system is running 24/7 and the electricity bill is paid by your subscriptions!
The PC runs CentOS 5.2 Linux (a variant of RedHat Linux) and is currently being configured so that it can be installed at our Weedley Site and remotely administered by the group from the comfort of our own shacks via the Internet using a secure (SSH) login.
The XYL will be pleased when this PC and the associated clutter leave our dining table!
