How to Set-Up a Home Server

On these pages I describe how I did set-up my own home server connected to the internet via ADSL. I use this server as personal e-mail and web server.

Comments and questions are welcome at e-mail fwiarda@fwiarda.com.


First Server

In 2003 I did install my first server. It is a fanless computer equiped with a 40 GB harddisk and a CD-ROM drive. The serial port is used as console, avoiding the use of a monitor.

Second Server

In 2007 I did install my second server as a replacement for the first server. It contains only a fanless motherboard. It boots and runs from a 16 GB USB flash drive, avoiding the need for an internal harddisk and CD-ROM drive. As with my first server, the serial port is used as console, avoiding the use of a monitor.
