The USAF and in particular Staff Sergeant Brent Rofoli have done more for us than words can explain. These dedicated Dell's are PII 400 machines with varying amounts of RAM, the least being 64mb. They have a future as servers in our implementation of the LTSP. They came with mice, keyboards, speakers, 11 hard drives, and 6 17" monitors. It was only a drop in their bucket. The amount of hardware the good people at the USAF have is staggering.
We should all be grateful that Cody Taylor has put us in touch with his co-workers at Hickam. Our needed resource is about to be you. With so much hardware around and on the horizon, and several projects lining up, we will need help doing this. The Midpac lab will be available for us to work on the machines on certain days. If needed, and if it will motivate you to help us on days that Midpac is not accessible, I will work on securing some space with daily access. Warren will certainly follow-up on this and let us know when we can access MidPac. The critical factor for success will be the human resource. Let's try to come up with a system that allows all of you to get your hands on this while still taking of your jobs, etc. In the meantime, I offer LUAU KUDOS and GRATITUDE to those responsible for this first big contribution to the cause. scott On Thu, 2002-05-30 at 14:20, Taylor Cody Civ SAIC/PETS wrote: > Well I can brag on the USAF now.
