[BlueOnyx:12477] Re: Solarspeed / Compass / BlueOnyx stores

[Dave Park]

I'm using a Kingston 32GB class 10 SDHC card. It manages a reasonable
20MB/sec, but has about zero latency. For the few dozen sites I host on the
4-core Athlon BO machine behind me, which draws about 50W and has a load
average of 0.00, I may as well get it onto the Pi, which shows a load of
0.00 over 15 mins too :) I just don't like using the more mainstream tools
and thought it would be fun to get BO on it, and have a yum repository to
keep it updated.

I have been using the 2x16 card to cycle through displaying load averages,
data volumes in/out, pages served in the last 60 minutes/24 hrs, and
various TOP stats like memory, pages, etc. It's just a simple python script.

Also, as an aside, the Raq PSU is overkill, and is a standard
telecommunications PSU that sometimes fetches over $50 on eBay - I've seen
them sell for $110 - probably worth more than the rest of the box put
together. :)
