I'm very interested to know the medium time needed to configure some |
| 2 |
kind of servers, both in man time (hours dedicated to) and real, time |
| 3 |
(days). |
| 4 |
The cpu time should not be lesser than round(man time / 8 + 0.5) |
| 5 |
considering a working day of 8 hour (sweet dreams) |
| 6 |
And consider the time to setup log system, crons, backups. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Honestly it' s to have a meter to compare my speed with experts (and |
| 9 |
also not expert, everybody welcome) sys-admin and in case invest some |
| 10 |
time trying to learn how do it faster and ... for mine personal curiosity. |
| 11 |
ah not only limited to gentoo but whatever you feel better to work with. |

| 26 |
0 user average (backup only) |
| 27 |
single processor, athlon xp 2400, p4 2400 low end workstation |
| 28 |
Note: this one is intended to be a copy of the system 1) so you |
| 29 |
probably want to lower man time |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
3) File server |
| 32 |
samba, ntfs, put your prefernce here |
| 33 |
not security oriented |
| 34 |

6) Firewall, |
| 55 |

| 57 |
