Friday
I also bought another server - will arrive next week

HP Proliant DL360 G8
48 GB RAM
16 cores - 32 Threads

I'll put it some SFP+ cards in it and it will be quite nice

Home or work?
G8 - these aren't cheap last I checked. New or used?

Well god damn. I wish I could just simply buy a server like that. 🤣 Probably won't happen during my univ. years.

@netikras

slightly used, for a couple of month :)

It costed me about $550 :P

I will have it as my personal box, but in the datacenter at work.

@SparkyTD

The time will arrive when you just can do it too, and when that time arrive you will have more nicer servers to choose from :)

@Linux is it 'legal'?
😂

@shelladdicted

Very

I mean is 'legal' to use power && connection of your workplace for your server?

Well, i kind of hate HP for their FlexLom bullshit.

Though, you can get pretty cheap FDR / (40/56) Gbit Mellanox cards for it on the used market.

Though my grudges are fuled by the licensing bullshit that Lenovo / ibm did on theirs.

Supermicro / Asus for the win!

@Rollo

What do you want to learn and do with it? If you are buying hardware it is best to do so for a long term project

@Rollo

Alright!

The proliant Microserver G10 is really nice, I really recommend that one :)

I have never tried ClearOS actually, but it is Intel hardware to it should work good.
