<VV> OT - server setup

[Dale Dewald]

Hello Brian,

A Gigabyte board, i5, WD HHD's and Crucial (Micron) SSD's are what I 
would have used to build a server.  Thanks for all of the hard work!!

I'm going to look at a new firewall once the box is complete, I upgraded that a few years ago but I'd like to be ahead of things this time, it was quite frustrating troubleshooting that issue.

I spec'd out some heavier duty components based on our experience with the old box.   VV e-mail will fly, all the logging and archives will be on the SSDs so there won't be any slowdown for processing.  Generally the idea is to make the Internet the slow part of anything we do.  As I mentioned before, I have a couple projects in mind that will require space, we'll have plenty.  New OS will be Fedora 22.
