About R3v0
Revolutionary Network (shortly called Revolt) started occasionally as a Corgi's personal project in 2004. It was a temporal domain for a
GNU/Linux-based home server on DSL line. It was (and perhaps still is) a rebellion against the way the Internet evolves. Ofcourse, by 'the Internet' we mean
mainly its Czech part, because we are all located in the Czech Republic, EU (at least for now).
Our aim is to build an independent non-commercial community network, partly virtual. R3v0 divides to R3v0.local (private LAN),
R3v0.czf (private WAN in CZFree.Net; in preparation) and
R3v0.net (publicly accessible part of our network). R3v0 subprojects include R3v0.com, R3v0.org, R3v0.cz, R3v0.info and R3v0.eu — currently a swap domains.
R3v0 is not an ISP, so we do not sell any services. But our equipment costs money, so we accept donations and financial
contributions from our users to lower our expenses.
The approach is to do everything on our own, hence not beeing a dependant of some company and it's "internal techniques" [30 days to proceed your request]
and "marketing strategies" [an infomail every week with extra offers regardless of how malfunctioning the current services are]. That's the reason why R3v0.net is
a non-commercial project, because we do not want to "make big money", we just want to do networking in the best quality we are able to achieve.
Machines
Workhorses
- GAUS
- General Access Unix Server – a primary server of R3v0.net.
- serves also as Alpha.R3v0.net.
- homebrew, AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (MICRO-STAR MB), 1U
- Tron
- (was: slave nameserver) temporal replacement for malfunctioning GAUS.
- Compaq Proliant DL360, dual PIII 1,13 GHz, 1U. Replaced Yori.
- Sark
- old secondary nameserver named Yori, gateway for R3v0.local.
- homebrew, Via Epia VT8623-8235, 1U Mini-ITX.
- Phobos 2
- [for now] test machine in R3v0.local.
- Compaq Proliant 1850R, dual PIII, 3U
- R4m
- rubbish terminal and a test server for Corgi's dark experiments.
- Intel Celeron 1.? GHz, 256 MB RAM
- MCP
- currently a workstation and a test server in R3v0.local.
You probably noticed Corgi's obsession with the movie Tron [1982]...
- used mainly as a storage, 'cause 5x 250GB SATA 300
There is also a machine called 'Bit' – Corgi's personal laptop. It's not exactly a R3v0 machine, but it is a part of R3v0.local and he shares it with Iv3t, so...
Deceased and Retired Machines
- Dumond
- Used as a router in R3v0.local. There was an attempt to revive him, but failed [too much power consumption, too much noise, too little performance...].
- Old Intel Pentium I 166MHz, 32 MB RAM.
- Phobos 1
- Corgi used this machine as his first test server. It was a great fun... Then, ~7 years ago...
- Some IBM machine with even older Intel Pentium I 133MHz, ~24 MB RAM.
- Lilith, Ninive
- Those machines are probably still in Corgi's basement, but nobody knows any longer where they are, how do they look or what do they contains...
- Casa
- The first machine operating outside R3v0.local. Sold
- Intel Celeron ~800MHz, 256 MB RAM, 10 GB HDD
- Yori
- This machine was made to help Tron fight against Sark, the evil servant of Corgi's MCP... Yeah, you have probably seen the movie Tron [1982]...
-
Yori was retired 2 months after its entrance to the active duty for a hardware unreliability. It was refurbished and serves now as Sark.R3v0.net
Hints
IPv6
R3v0 members are investigating possibilities of IPv6. We acquired an IPv6 prefix 2001:5c0:981d::/64 from Go6.net and are deploying it right now...
General in GAUS...
To avoid confusion, GAUS is not a broad server. 'General' as 'Main', 'Primary', 'Universal'. In other words, you will not get an ssh account instantly
just because you demand it.

Telegraphic history
- 13-dec-2004,
Corgi registered domain r3v0.net for his small home webserver [later also mailserver and fileserver].
A few machines served here [Phobos 1, Ninive, Lilith] through the years,
last one is called Sark..
- 1st half of 2006,
Our main server Casa was transfered to a server housing provider.
- 15-feb-2007,
New machine GAUS replaced old Casa. First rack-mountable machine.
- 25-feb-2007,
We have our own DNS now.
- 27-jul-2007,
Yori went to service and replaced Sark as a nameserver.
- end of September 2007,
User Freeman was departed for his lack of interest. In contrary, Iv3t started to cooperate with us.
- 11-oct-2007,
After a few hardware failures, Yori was quickly replaced with Tron.
- 12-oct-2007,
Corgi bought a machine. We instantly named it MCP, cause it's currently our most powerfull machine.
