Linux Box #2 current webserver give away
Broadway is a machine I picked up at Broadway & 9th, in working order. Originally I just wanted to cannibalize the power supply for another project I had at the time, which I've since abandoned. I figured someone would be able to use it if I kept it intact.
Slash was my webserver from fall 2k6 to fall 2k7. Linux ran slow as death on the K6 platform. I eventually replaced Slash with Waldo, which despite only a modest bump in raw mHz, ran Linux a lot more gracefully on its Intel platform. I tried installing a few other Linux distros, to see if I'd get better performance out of anything. Barring Puppy, not really. Not on anything current...
Ledgewood is another curbside fiond... If nothing else, the Win98 install is shaky & the HD needs to be wiped. The CPU fan is a bit funky IIRC, so I may just upgrade this to a faster CPU (P2 266? 333? Whatever I can find with a good fan that works in the mobo?) before giving it away. Could use some Prime95 tests n'at for good measure too.
Waldo is the current webserver. And what I'm typing this description on. I use it for a lot of daily tasks & it's pretty tolerable. It'll play YouTube vids.
Azala was Voltronned together with parts from at least 3 different HPs. I ran it as the webserver & my primary Linux box for a few weeks. But I went back to Waldo, as this box doesn't like YouTube vids. HA! I guess having at least 256k of L2 cache is key? I still turn it on to burn stuff occasionally. Soon a new P3/866 machine with a DVD burner will make both Waldo & Azala redundant. Except for that dual layer burning capability. Hm. I might have to hold on to that drive. HA!
HPBAR is Voltronned together from 3 different HP Pavilions, 2 of which also produced Azala. The hardware should be sound, but it needs a new OS. I think I'm going to be greedy and keep this HD, replacing it with a smaller one. HA!
Seriously.
