Yes I know, maybe I should have waited for Karmic, or even Lucid, but the biggest reason why I did this was that I\u2019ve migrated this server from the little Pentium 4 Shuttle XPC that was in use before onto a Virtualbox 3.0.6 headless VM hosted on an Ubuntu Jaunty box running on top of an Intel E5200 CPU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019re probably wondering why I\u2019d use an E5200 when it doesn\u2019t have hardware virtualisation features built in? Well, the server consumes very little juice compared to the Pentium 4 (26% less in fact), it\u2019s more powerful, it\u2019s cheap, cheerful, produces less ambient heat, is a heck of a lot quieter and there\u2019s loads of CPU time left over to do other things outside of the VM on the host side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CPU wise, when the server gets really busy I\u2019ve seen spikes as high as 50%, but it never exceeds that, so as far as I\u2019m concerned, it\u2019s fine. If I ever need this box to do anything more significant, I\u2019ll upgrade the CPU to something that does have VT-x later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you see anything unusual\/missing\/dead from today onwards, please let me know in a comment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally got around to upgrading the server that serves this very page you\u2019re reading to Ubuntu Jaunty today, up from Ubuntu Hardy.
