Drupal makes me a web designer!
I swear if it weren't for a decent CMS like Drupal, I'd still be writing nested tables for my sites.

I've got my colo machine running centOS 5.1 with the latest OpenVZ software. I have 3 VEs created so far:

1) FC8 + Apache 2.2.6 running http://www.deus-exmachina.net/drupal (and soon all my mail/etc)
2) Ubuntu 7.10 + BIND9 for ns3.deus-exmachina.net...which will actually become ns1 once I'm done migrating
3) And a TrixBox 2.x PBX for videophones & applications my family and friends can use (SIP only)

Everything is available over IPv4/IPv6 (mmmmmm native IPv6). If you want to try IPv6, HE's tunnelbroker.net ([info]liferun and myself run the project) is free and fairly simple to set up if your ISP cannot provider you native IPv6 connectivity.

Nothing much on the main site yet. I will also need to do a total overhaul of geek-meat.com and probably make it have it's own VE. The system's resources are barely in use handling 3 virtual servers so far. System specs are:

Silicon Mechanics Rackform nServ A107
Opteron 1218 HE (2.6GHz, Dual Core, Skt AM2, 1MB/Core L2 Cache
4GB (4x1GB) DDR2-800 Unbuffered ECC - Interleaved
Dual-port 10/100/1000 Mbps NIC (Broadcom 5704C) - Integrated (ZOMG VLAN support)
2x500GB SATA II/300 Western Digital (and one is failing SMARTD self-testing so need to RMA, shouldn't have bought the drives at Fry's)

we are now using OpenVZ in production at work. every group we host on http://research.yale.edu is eventually going to end up as their own VE on the new hardware, along with a few other entities. pretty cool stuff. let's share tips as we go!

I'm dedicating to each VE 500mhz with 256M guaranteed RAM burst to 512 and access to both cores. I kept getting a failcnt on kmem, tcp send/recv and othersock buff. vzcfgvalidate -r is totally my friend and fixed the problems. Now I've got everything running, and am looking into web based management for the VEs to run on the HN.

Since this is my personal stuff, the machine isn't as beefy. I suspect you have like 8-16 core Dell systems for Yale ;)
