Content Filtering Server Problems
During Sunday, I found that the caching software had failed. After numerous attempts to repair the problem, I resorted to a full re-installation from the ground up.
Originally, I was going to switch it over to xubuntu, but I ran into problems getting iptables to work properly. Since I was on a time crunch, I decided to reinstall Mandriva 2006.
The installation and updates went smoothly, and very soon everything was back up and running. The tweaks--log file rotation, ups, sensors daemon (monitors temperatures, etc)--will come back on this week.
Originally, I was going to migrate the WifiDog software over to the server, but instead I'm going to need more time and some more research. I'm not going to stick with Mandriva, but instead switch over to Ubuntu Server Edition. It has a few advantages over Mandriva; no extraneous software, less system resources, and the fact that I use its light-weight desktop version Xubuntu on my Thinkpad.
