Since having a Mac mini at Macminicolo.net I currently have the luxury position of having two Mac mini’s connected to the internet. This gives me the ability to try new configurations for the DIYMacServer setup.

The first thing I tried, now I’ve got everything migrated, was getting my home server to work as a backup MX server. I found out that it was pretty straightforward and adding one line to the main configuration made it work.

I’ve added it to the documentation set, so if you have the same luxury as I have and have more than one server connected you could use the this as well. Read how to do it here: Configuring a backup (relay) MX server.

The Apple TV has only been released for several days now and the hacks keep coming in ! I don’t have one yet and don’t see one coming in the near future as I just spend my alloted budget on a new PS3. Would love to hear from anyone who’s attempted to install Apache, Mysql and even the mailserver. I wish I could get my hands on one for a short period just to try it out… It would be one hell of a cheap server !

Maybe it is an idea to start a new donation round for one if people are interested in the results ?

Update: It looks like Apache was already found running on the Apple TV !
