[Aurora-sparc-user] What does your Sparc do?

[Bob Bownes]

I have a Sparcstation 5 running asterisk quite nicely. 

Also in the collection is a pair of 8 CPU SS1000's running the last 
version of Redhat Sparc that are powered off at present. Nice machines 
that do a few tasks very very well, but make alot of noise and generate 
quite a bit of heat! But when I need to generate 100K SSL certs (don't 
ask...) they get brought to life for a few hours.

There is a stack of 3 Sparcstation 4's and 5's acting as my administrative 
servers. DNS, RT, nagios, ntp, erpcd, etc. One of them might turn into a 
firewall/vpn host someday since I have a stack of quad ethernet cards just 
doing nothing.

On another note, if anyone needs a frame buffer (SBUS or PCI), or a spare 
E250 motherboard, let me know. I have a few of each. Located in Albany, 
NY.

Bob

Re: [Aurora-sparc-user] What does your Sparc do?






Hello,

I've two ultra5's and an ultra10. The sparc 5 I have I'm getting ready
to trash. Since it had the 170 Mhz upgrade its just too much of a pain
to get linux installed and I don't want to run Solaris at home.

One ultra5 is my DNS server, Kerberos server, DHCP server, smtp and
imap server and webmail server.

The other is the primary web server (not really doing much) and an ldap
server.  Also is my remote access machine, as it were.

The ultra10 is primarily a file server, NFS now, but when I had windows
I ran samba on all the machines. One was the domain controller. Now,
no windows and currently no samba.

All of these are at home. The university I work at sells the old equipment
to the general public at surplus and one can get a deal sometimes.

Regards,
Earl Shannon
