Over the last few years HP have had deals on Microservers, which means a lot of people have GEN8 servers around.

These micro servers have a lot of expansion, you get a generic cheap 2 core processor that you can update to an 8 core if you look carefully everything else is pretty good.

Now with the release of RedHat/Centos 8 there are now problems with the software raid controller, HP havent released a driver for it, so you can use the controller in native SATA mode, but raid wont work. A way to get around this is to purchase a cheap HP p410/p420 raid card from Ebay, put that in the free slot and plug your sata drives into it.

Ok you loose the slot, but the microserver has an extension to its life.

What is Spotify?

Well I’ve been using this application for the last couple of weeks and have come to enjoy it a lot.

Spotify is a new way to enjoy music. Simply download and install, before you know it you’ll be singing along to the genre, artist or song of your choice. With Spotify you are never far away from the song you want.

There are no restrictions in terms of what you can listen to or when. Forget about the hassle of waiting for files to download and fill up your hard drive before you get round to organising them. Spotify is instant, fun and simple.

Because music is social, Spotify allows you to share songs and playlists with friends, and even work together on collaborative playlists, Friday afternoon in the office might never be the same again! We’re music lovers like everyone else.

I don’t think i’ve come across an artist it hasn’t got, yet !! Still trying.
