[Installations] SULA, Big RAM

Got SULA installed, mostly, and Aaron’s taking it over now. It’s got 8GB of RAM, which entailed turning on the PAE extensions for FreeBSD’s kernel. And that entailed making a static kernel, which entailed compiling in the IPFilter stuff. All is well now, and MySQL is up and running for development work.

Off the top of my head, MySQL will be used for:

  • Moodle (PostgreSQL just isn’t working out there, since some of the developers can’t seem to write database-neutral SQL code).
  • Cascade content management server
  • MovableType

There will probably be other things coming down the pike that could benefit from a MySQL install.
