PQBON.COM Back from the dead...

Another one bites the dust. The Sun Ultra 30 that was toryn.pqbon.com has gone the way of the Sun SparcStation 20 that it replaced, to the scrap heap. Both systems seem to have dead motherboards. The good thing about this is the harddrive was OK so I was able to save ALL the data off the system. (Thank god linux supports sun partition tables on ALL architectures.)

PQBON.COM is back alive at tooch's place humming along. For those that care PQBON.COM is now:

  • P4 2.4 GHz
  • i845 Chipset (ASUS P4B533 Motherboard)
  • 1 GB of ram
  • GForce 2 video card
  • Adaptec U160 SCSI controller
  • 2 mirrored Segate 32GB Cheetah SCSI drives
  • 4 port 10/100 Intel networking card
  • Boot drive is a 256MB compact flash card

It is currently running Debian Testing with a 2.6.8.1 Kernel. The Filesystem on the compact flash is ext3fs and IBMs jfs is running on the mirrored 32GB disks.

Some may notice that this machine is Tonya's desktop machine. We are now in the process of building her a new desktop system to replace the one I sacrificed in the name of pqbon.com.

If you notice any problems with the system please let me know.

MT Blacklist is broken. It claims that the byte ordering is corrupt.

New server is much, much faster

In the end it turns out the Sun was more attractive, in those patented shades of dark grey and Sun indigo. The new computer is wicked fast but tell me, do case designers have competitions to see whose design is most butt-ugly? No matter, I've stacked the cat box on top of it.
