New Server
After a couple of months running this website and associated services on my desktop, I finally put together a low end server (a desktop without a monitor running Ubuntu server 64 bit).
In addition to the reduced downtime this should result in, its also provided me with increased material for a number of additional how-tos, such as a article on some basic tips for dealing with mysql, installing and moving openfire, and general tips on working in the command line only environment that exists in Ubuntu Server.
Additionally, I have updated the mdadm tutorial to include all of the steps for the testing section, which lacked the details on how to assemble the array.
