I had just lost my whole machine with server and all. By server , I mean email, web, ftp, etc too. And since it was all Linux which was running fine for years now, I forgot what i did! took me a while to remember all what all I did to get to where I was (some stuff had been there for about 7 years).
I still have a few details to iron out, but its pretty much working now.

I plan on making the move to Linux once I get a dedicated server up, I been meaning to build one for a file server around the house and what not, and since the internet connection will not pull near the available bandwith of a Gigabit connection i should been fine to combine them. Im not going to skimp out on the parts though, I already plan on building a server, dual Xeon's 4 gigs of ram, two 1tb arrays in Raid 1, ect..., total price tag on everything is going come out right under $2k. I have been saving up for it so I am looking forward to it. Last time I was into the Emu, they were just rolling it out or it was in very early stages. Ethernalquest was active at the time, and thats been forever. Now I have more money to spare, more time to devote to it, and more knowledge overall of things. The main goal is to have a powerhouse that I can devote to Hosting whatever I want to, from the Emu, to a website, ect..

Techguy84, thank you so much
