The history of servers at KUD France Prešeren

• 1994 — MORDOR, the, first Novell server; today MORDOX running on Debian GNU/Linux
• 1994 — MILA (GONDOR), Ljudmila's first multipurpose server, HP-UX; today MILA serves as an e-mail server, on Debian
• 1995 — SGI INDY which powered LOIS (Ljubljana Open Internet Server), the first service dedicated to external users, running on IRIX; INDY was later used exclusively for production, the operation of LOIS was moved to MILA at the address www.ljudmila.org/; its present equivalent is HUDA
• 1995 — MAX, the server for modem and ISDN dial-up access from home, upgraded several times, at its peak it enabled 32 simultaneous users; in December 2006 MAX is retired partly due to prohibitive costs of the bulk ISDN line, and partly because Internet connectivity became ubiquitous by that time.
• 1997 — MAMA, lab server in Šentvid, a PC running Debian, file server, databases, web application development; now at Rimska
• 1999(?) — HUDA, the present web server, a PC running Debian, configured by Ljudmila for shared hosting, takes over web hosting and databases from MILA; upgraded several times
• 2003 — ENCODER, a dedicated PC with Debian for live web casting
• 2009 — MILČI, future HUDA (self service), hosting culture.si and some other newer projects, a PC running Debian
