My New 1U HP server


This month I got my new server which I want to setup it as my mail server. It is an HP Proliant DL 140 Generation 2. It is a 1U type server. It fits the rack server nicely. This type of machine (I mean the 1U type) surprised me coz I never setup Linux on this *fancy* machine. I just thought that it should be the same as the normal-looking one ,lol. It is except one thing. It has SATA RAID controller. I haven't start installing an OS on it coz I haven't had a clue on how to setup one without CDROM. What? I hear you say. Yes. It has no CDROM. It only has CDROM bay. Damn!. I never checked the spec carefully. I should have known better.

I went to the supplier this afternoon and ordered a DVD-ROM drive. I learned something from this case. I should have checked the spec carefully. Damn!!.

Nvidia new hotplug feature on Linux

 If you use nvidia driver for your GPU, you probably wonder why in some config, you can't hotplug your second monitor. You need to reboo...
