As you might have noticed, the server running the wiki (lazarus and fpc), the mailing lists (lazarus and fpc) and being ftp master (fpc and lazarus snapshots) had some hick ups during the last months due to hardware problems so we want to replace it by something more reliable because this is one of the two main servers of fpc and lazarus.

We plan to get a HP ProLiant Server ML110 G5 (like http://www.alternate.de/html/solrSearch/toArticle.html?articleId=379777 sorry about the german link) which is available for 400-500 Eur in Germany and add some more memory and another hard disk so it can run RAID-1.

Just the fpc mailing lists. The Lazarus mailing lists are hosted on the same server that hosts the lazarus website and forum.

Thank you for all your contributions, I ordered a HP ML110 today. I'll equip it with more hard disks and memory and by the end of march, Charlie will pick it up so it can be installed in April.

Sorry for the apparently strange sending time (I just send the mail a few minutes ago), it seems something mixed up my pc clock :)
