My Computers

Oakley

Software and stuff

This is my main workstation. It runs linux. It started off as RedHat 4.2, and hasn't been reinstalled since. However, there is probably nothing of the original left. Very unstable, mainly because it is used for development (including kernel), but not helped by being SMP.

Hardware

Dual PII 350, Gigabyte GX686-BX (or something like that) motherboard, 128Mb RAM. AWE32 ISA PnP soundcard with 4Mb RAM (I think). Intel EEPRO 100 Network card BT878 based TV card (Hauppuage sommat). ATI Rage IIC AGP graphics card with 8Mb RAM (I think). Ricoh DVD/CDRW. Old 8x CDROM drive that usually almost works. 9.1Gb Quantum SCSI hard drive. 20Gb IBM IDE hard drive. PS/2 mouse and keyboard.

Wibble

Software and stuff

Nameserver and printer server, but struggles at that. Firewall/NAT box, connected to a cable modem, which it copes quite well with.

Hardware

486DX2-66 (I think). 32Mb RAM. Hercules (I think) mono (and not VGA) graphics card. Floppy drive. 40x CDROM drive. HP LaserJet 6L off the parallel port. Dead 40Mb Quantum drive. 2 ISA NE2000 clone network cards.

Bounce

Software and stuff

My windows box. Win98, to be precise. Used for games and web browsing (IE is still needed for too many badly written sites, sadly).

Hardware

Celeron 900. 256Mb RAM. Onboard graphics and sound cards. Intel EEPRO 100 network card. Very dead 10x CDROM. 4.3Gb Quantum bigfoot hard drive. Serial mouse, PS/2 keyboard. OpticPro 4830P scanner. Steering wheel.

Ickle

Software and stuff
