[tech] Console boxes.

[Grahame Bowland]

Hi all,

Just a quick suggestion. My home PC is a PII/400 with
a Matrox G200 card. Now the Leighton has helped me get
the AGP module and GLX working, it is capable of doing
quite cool OpenGL graphics.

>From what I've seen of the O2 my box can beat it it terms
of frame rates for quite a few things.

Why don't we set up a reasonably specced box - in the order
of 200Mhz - and put the console outside of the machine room?
Give it a G200 or G400, and let people do cool stuff (TM) with
it? If it was set up properly there would be no need for people
to have root access to use it effectively.

Just an idea :)
