Hi All,
Over the last month or so, the WLUG Committee went to seek sponsorship in order to replace the existing hoiho server.
Today, HP New Zealand has responded by kindly providing an HP BL10e blade server complete with five servers having 512 MB RAM in each of them and single disk. HP didn't provide me with any further details of the specifications.
Regards,
Lindsay Druett. WLUG President.

Cheeky as you might think you're being, the server we have is stopping us upgrading to the new version of the wiki software because of performance issues, and was the primary driver for seeking sponsorship.
Being able to increase security/provide Xen instances etc is an added bonus!

Ouch.. that going that well. I could have donated hardware had I had known.. did the same for debian.co.nz when I heard the call for hardware.

Well, we decided not to ask for hardware yet on the basis that if we can get a nice complete system donated to us from a vendor it is much preferable to a machine (like the current one) that is cobbled together from parts generously donated by members.
It's the thought that counts though, so thanks :)
