[Colchester] Happy New Year Colchester LUG

[Wayland Sothcott]

Happy New Year Stuart,

That sounds like fun. That should be fast with the mirrored striped SSD 
RAID. Remember to tune your server configs to take advantage of the 
massive RAM and cores I expect you have. Have you figured out iSCSI yet? 
I gave it a go, quite cool but a bit slow on a 1gig network.

I've built a Proxmox based on ZFS of 8 2.7GB SAS drives. I had a couple 
of drives left over so I built a FreeNAS on ZFS. In terms of storage 
FreeNAS is loads better but ProxMox is great for VMs.

I've also tinkered with GamerOS, this is basically what SteamOS was 
supposed to be. It turns a PC into a gaming console and you use your 
Steam account. It requires a Vulkan GPU which is either an HD 7000 
series or later or the integrated GPU in an i5 etc.

It did even get it going on my ProxMox as a VM but my GPU is only an HD 
5000 series.

Regards.

Wayland.
