New Server for webtruck.org

Recently I noticed that it's more than five years since I last change the server hosting www.webtruck.org.

The old server had one disk only, and I no longer wanted risk having to restore the whole system just because of a disk failure.

The new hardware has three times the CPU power, twice the memory and four times the disk space of the old one. Hope this will last for the next five years...

Here's an overview of the upgrades in the last 10 years:

Date	Server Version
1-Apr-2011	Zope/(Zope 2.10.13-final, python 2.4.6, linux2) ZServer/1.1
19-Mar-2007	Zope/(Zope 2.8.4-final, python 2.4.1, linux2) ZServer/1.1
3-Jul-2004	Zope/(Zope 2.5.1 (binary release, python 2.1, linux2-x86), python 2.1.3, linux2) ZServer/1.1b1
8-Jul-2003	Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) PHP/4.1.0 mod_throttle/3.1.2
19-Apr-2001	Apache/1.3.17 (Unix) (SuSE/Linux) mod_fastcgi/2.2.2 mod_perl/1.24 PHP/3.0.17-dev mod_ssl/2.8.0 OpenSSL/0.9.5a

As you can see, the server now runs on Zope 2.10

This was quite a step from the previous version 2.8 - I might not have caught all the problems yet.

The server still runs on SuSE linux, it's the current OpenSuSE 11.4 release.
