I put this in here as it falls under the "assorted madness" banner.
This weekend, I finally retired a very old server. How old, you might ask? How about a 440BX motherboard with an Intel Celeron@340MHz with 384MB RAM. That old. The OS install on it was from 2004 (Mandrake 10, of all things) and the server was from well before that. It was my internal web host, mail host, and my hop host for external ssh connections. Believe it or not, it was still fully functional for all those roles.
The main reason for the decomissioning was not the hardware, but the need to update the OS and the desire to not try and shoe horn a current release onto the system. Not that I couldn't do it, but my day job involves support and such things so I tend to be a bit more pragmatic at home.
I haven't powered it off yet, but all the functionality has been moved to a still obsolete, but much less so, server with a pair pf quad core Intel Xeon 5420's at 2.5GHz. This system has a nice 8GB of RAM too.
Absolutely nothing of importantce here...
