[tech] New machine...

[Bernard Blackham]

Craig (reaps) has kindly donated an ex-server to UCC. Specs are:

 - Dual PPro-200
 - 512MB RAM (most days, occasionally 640MB)
 - Dual hefty PSU
 - HP NetRaid card with onboard memory & battery
 - 1x4GB Ultra-SCSI SCA-2 drive (were 2, but one was friend by
   certain someone)
 - 4x9GB Ultra-SCSI SCA-2 drives, in RAID5 == 27GB
 - 2xAdaptec 7880 controllers

It's currenty running an install of Debian on XFS, but if anybody
feels we should put another quirky OS on, nobody would be too
offended.  Have tried OpenBSD, but the RAID driver panic'd the
machine and temporarily munged the RAID card itself (required a
power cycle to get going again).

Suggestions for use? Current suggestions are:
 - replace /home /space or /services
 - replace http services (currently sucking on mermaid)
 - replace hydra
 - <insert your favourite pasttime>
 - all of the above

Bernard.
