 I have published these notes on my public wiki website https://wiki.kptree.net/, for my own access and also and possible benefit to others. I am not interested in advertising on this site. As these are my personal notes, provided without cost, I assume no obligations in anyway should anyone in anyway use them in full or part. YOU USE THESE NOTES AT YOUR OWN RISK!
-I have used many references from the Internet to assist me with the development of my home server and these notes. In general these referenced links are provided in the relevant section of the notes. Historically I used for information and inspiration [[http://www.havetheknowhow.com/|Havetheknowhow.com]], however I find whilst this is still a good resource, I am moving away from Ubuntu to Debian.

-On occassion I have had problems with the operations of these machines.  The computer would just halt, however the BMC / IMPI still seemed to operate.  This has happened now 2 times that I can remember in the past 5 years with 3 such computer setups, so it is very infrequent.  I hope the frequency does not increase!.  The solution to fix was very simple.  A cold reset of the BMC!  This is most effectively achieved by turning off the computer power supply!
