Shuttle XPC SN95G5 V3 - typing this email now
Nvidia 6600GT Gfx card, though it's seen several others. This
system was built early 2005.
Penguin Computing 1U server - been running since 2004, 2P Opteron
Self-built 2P Opteron Tyan K8W S2885 motherboard, running since 2004.
Nvidia 6600GT gfx card. Started out with an Nvidia 5900XT. It
lost one cpu - memory controller went bad last year. Upgraded both
cpus and now have powernowd running doing dynamic frequency control.
Self-built 2P Opteron MSI motherboard, built 2004, motherboard lost memory
traces in 2005. Now dead.
All have run Gentoo, though the Penguin Computing server started out with SLES
8,
that basically sucked. SLES 9 and SLES 10 are better, but it's a critical lab
server and
I won't run software we test on something critical like that.
