Nightmare ..

That is the day when i think i really need to use windows . hahahaha .. Why ? We have a power failure in our data centre and suddenly when my Freebsd boot up , it say "drive is not mounted cleanly " .. after a whole day i'm waiting , it still fail . I read through internet how to build the server back . but it seem not to help . Most people posting as an expert so i cant get their guides .
Take a shortcut , i build my DNS server to a separate server using Windows 2000. Since my freebsd only use pentium 3 with 256 ram . If I install windows 2000 to this server , everything looks like in flashback mode ( slow movement and action). It tooks me only 2 days to build the server . since i've learn how to manage DNS from MCSE training class ..
Eventhough the problem has been solve after building the dns server , but to me , we are now 100% happy Windows family . I read through internet about dns vulnerability and many of it tells about windows . Oh man , i'm too lazy to do all the patches . I decide to fully patch my windows dns server and sleep tightly :) .
In the same time , i still want to build back my Freebsd server . I read through internet how to build Freebsd server . During that time is 5.1 . After 2 weeks struggle finally i succeed to build the server . That is my first success in Opensource . Let me tell the truth , I feels so happy . But still nothing . I can only see login text and password . During installation , I select to install GUI . But unluckily after complete the installation , when i run startx , it says that my Display configuration is problem . So still cannot use GUI to manage my server . (Still using original server pentium 3).
I ignore to configure the GUI but concentrate to configure named service . Looking all the needed file such as named.conf , dns table file , how to configure SOA and how to manage the service . Yeaahhhh .. after a month facing the text mode , finally i got the reply from internet DNS test (www.checkdns.net) your dns configured properly .. Oh mannn. That is 2nd success and now i can admit that i've truly success building back my Freebsd server (Master DNS). I shutdown the Windows dns server since it does not satisfied me . The more challenge i get , the more excited the success .. I build back 2nd dns server and it tooks only 3 day since i've learn from the first server . Now everything looks easier . Learn from mistake . But , both dns works in master master . I still cannot make it as master slave . But i leave the server since i have involve with network and security projects ..
