The KernelTrap server was upgraded last night to a Dell PowerEdge SC1435 which utilizes a Dual Core AMD Opteron 2212HE. The server was purchased using funds generated by the advertising displayed on these pages. Additional specifications can be found in the KernelTrap FAQ.

The server continues to be hosted by the Oregon State University's Open Source Lab [story].

KernelTrap is using the Gentoo Linux distribution. The pages are currently managed by Drupal 4.7 using MySQL 5, Apache 2, PHP 5 and APC. A little extra money was spent to upgrade the CPU to the "highly efficient AMD Opteron processor HE model, operating at a maximum of 68 watts," in order to reduce the amount of power used by the KernelTrap webserver.
