I am still in the process of configuration, but this is the basic setup:

  1. Web / Mail Server

    • Dual-core Xeon 2 GHz
    • 8GB of RAM
    • RHEL 5 64-bit
  2. Database Server

    • Dual-core Xeon 2 GHz
    • 2GB of RAM (I know, it will eventually get upgraded)
    • RHEL 5 64-bit

This is especially important to me so I can increase my web services. Free data is always better than free software!

Using your ntpdate program, set a cron for say 30 minutes to sync your time with a NTP server.

30 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s ntp-2.mcs.anl.gov

The above server is available to US machines, and requires an email notification for usage as do most. Click here for a more complete list of NTP servers.
