LibAgent's new server

During the summer of 2001, LibAgent has received a second machine as a donation from the Computer Science Department of the Technion. This much improved machine was finally put into production and replaced the aging server we were given by the same department in 1999. We wish to once again thank the department, and particularly the dean, Prof. Shlomo Moran and the system engineering team, led by Mrs. Yael Dubinsky, for their support of LibAgent.

So, what is this server?

LibAgent's new server is a 350MHz Pentium II machine with 128MB of RAM, and two hard disks (a 4.3GB Western Digital disk, and a 6.4GB Seagate disk). We also have our older server, an old 133MHz Pentium with 32MB of RAM and two 1.2GB disks, as a backup server and development environment. Now that we have two machines we can much more easily test new software features we wish to implement, without disrupting our normal services. LibAgent's machines are powered by FreeBSD, and these pages are served to you curtesy of the Apache web server. Emails are processed by Postfix, and DNS services are provided by BIND. We use the PostgreSQL database management system to keep track of our users' records.
