Re: the death of the oldest OpenBSD system on the net...
Thanks for interesting story; very sadly. Just out of curiosity, what hardware was it?

Small hardware problems had happened before, as with most systems that have been running uninterrupted for nearly 10 years, but this time I decided against getting it up again: Running modern software had gotten a real chore (never managed to backport OpenSSH, for example, so it still had the last version of the old ssh.com daemon (1.2.32?). (Well, that, and the 2.3 GENERIC kernel reliably shot down the VMWare session I tried to get it running in.) Good old internet software like sendmail or bind never were a problem though, even in their most recent versions (which may or may not be a compliment, depending on your point of view). To my knowlege, the system never was hacked - despite running software like qpop 2.53 or really, really old versions of apache and php. (I sometimes found core files, but I guess the system was just too obscure to be a valid target for any type of automated attack.) base had lots of old stuff still lying around, like an emergency netboot environment for the sun3/160 that it had replaced as main server for infra.de back at the time, an Amanda client for my old employer's network backup system that's long gone, or the configuration for half a dozen UUCP feeds which have lost their peers ages ago. Gone are the days when 32MB RAM was a lot, a stripped down OpenBSD kernel had a whopping 1MB, and a handful of blacklists got rid of almost all of the spam. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel1056157 Jul 31 2002 /bsd Alex. -- C programmers never die.

[offtopic] Fiery X2-W Raster Image Processor
Hello, misc@ I work in the print company. Recently, while cleaning out attic I've found interesting machine. Machine labeled Fiery X2-W is a hardware raster image processor with 200MHz NEC VR5000 MIPS CPU. At first look, it has PCI 32, PCI 64, USB, pATA and SCSI buses, serial and parallel ports, onboard Ethernet. I don't know anything about this machine so I googled for a bit.. Unfortunately, I've got very poor results. Here are some links describing its capabilities: http://www.superwarehouse.com/Epson_RS-5100_Fiery_X2_RIP/C850122/p/35280 http://developer.novell.com/yes/58779.htm There was no drives and RAM inside. After plugging memory and powering on, device blimps its LED (on case) and outs some useless Checking messages; After checking is completed it prints Loading system... and hangs. I was able to access Setup but it looks like there is no interesting things there. If needed, I can access it tommorow at work and dig more carefully. My question is: Anyway, what is it? :) Why I was unable to find specs and finally, can I install some kind of my favorite BSD on it and bring it to life as a complex computer system?
