Thanks to all those that read my recent post about networking 3 Mac Mini's Hopefully it can help you create a network that is as close as possible to the administrator's second home, the NOC. As an aside form the posts I had planned, I did want to share some of the statistics that the digg.com exposure generated and some "simple" helpful tips to those interested in surviving high traffic/bandwidth peaks. I'll cover more "technical" ways of setting up your server(s) to handle this too, but that is for my next post.

Or, how to be the biggest network geek you can in only 1 square foot of space. Starting last year after reading Ward Mundy's How-To Bonanza, I knew I needed to use the Mac Mini as the core hardware component for my home network. Mostly because it looks good and small form fits easily on my desk. Good as that might be, the Mac Minis do have drawbacks and, if you're serious about your hosting choices, these do have to be overcome; this is what my post is all about.
