2.1. Hardware

We would require 1 (ONE) server for this project with the specification listed below. The specification below is rather high so that it is scaleable for future purposes with least need to replace the hardware.

The server will be installed with a flavor of GNU/Linux because of its flexibility, security and performance as a server. GNU/Linux is also a Free software, most Linux distributions can be acquired from no cost from their distributors, without the need to worry about licensing cost. GNU/Linux distribution and the softwares included together with it are mostly licensed under permissive licenses which allows unlimited deployment, unlimited installation, for any purposes.

It would be great if UTP can provide us with such hardware. Nonetheless, if UTP could not, I will try collecting funds/donation to buy it. A machine with such specification should be able to be acquired with around RM2000 budget.
