a) he shouldn’t be running this site on his workstation :),
b) he has a lot of junkers, and
c) the site he’s setting up will be worth every penny and second of effort he’s pouring into it.

Duron 700/384MB/18GB 10K SCSI, Windows 2000
Dual Celeron 500/320MB/9GB 10K SCSI, Debian Sid
Celeron 366/128MB/20GB 5.4K IDE, Debian 3.0
Celeron 400/128MB/8GB 5.4K IDE, Windows 98

I’ve got a K6-2/350 too, but I stole the memory from it and if I remember right, it’s got a bad drive in it. It’s got Debian 2.2 on it but the machine’s been sitting idle for a while. The Celeron-366 will get Web server duty since that machine’s in better shape.

And I’ve got some junkers kicking around, low-end Pentiums and a 486, that I’ll build up from time to time to do something. They usually run some flavor of Debian.

The Windows install on the Duron corrupted itself, so that machine’s sitting idle at the moment. It had pretty much lost its job as my main workstation before it died anyway. Great machine, but I don’t use Wintendo for anything but playing Railroad Tycoon or Civ or Baseball Mogul if I can help it. Or Adobe Premiere, since my only choices there are Windows or a Mac. And it’s been a long time since I’ve had any time for games.

I’ve been doing almost everything for the past couple of months on the dual Celeron, and it’s starting to strain under the load.

I have seen mentions of several different machines, 350MHz K6-2, 400MHz Celeron, 700MHz Duron etc. I was a bit surprised to see that you were running this blog on your main workstation. Would that be the Duron running Windoh’s?
