Confession: My Geek Penis is SMALL
Friday, July 22nd, 2005This collection of old Unix gear is quite impressive.
My collection, is quite paltry:
That’s a DEC Alphaserver 2100, with dual 100MHz Alphas and 128MB of RAM, with 4×1GB drives partitioned as / /usr and /var (I believe, it’s been awhile) The Indigo is actually defunct, replaced by an Indigo 4000/XZ with an R4000 at 100Mhz and 64MB of RAM with the GR24xz graphics option. Yes, it runs FSN. So you can sit down in the face of imminent Raptor Attack and say “This is Unix. I know this!” (In the real world, she’d have been eaten.*)
* Once in college, a friend was asked by the professor “what is the normal return code for a Unix program?”, to which my friend quickly replied “SEGFAULT?”
