Hi,

We had one of these on the old forum and since I have got a better camera now I thought I'd show off my Linux boxes and what they do:

Exhibit 1: The Dual Booters

dualbooters.jpg


These machines belong to my Dad, the desktop is a PIII 866mhz with 512MB of RAM. Runs Windows 2000 (spit) and Redhat Linux 7.3 :) The laptop runs Windows 2000 (spit) and is going to get Redhat 8.0 installed on it soon :)

Exhibit 2: The (soon to be) DNS server

haldir.jpg


This is a P166/64MB RAM/540MB HDD :eek: it is going to be a DNS server as soon as I can fit the Gentoo install in 540MB. It runs silently as it is passively cooled. This machines hostname is haldir


Exhibit 3: The Webserver

This is a dual PII 400/64MB RAM/8GB HDD running Gentoo Linux :) It has a small LCD on the front so I can monitor its status, it is plugged into a monitor but is used mainly via SSH. This machine's hostname is Lemming

Exhibit 4: The Workstation

This is a dual AMD Athlon 1800+/512MB ECC DDR RAM/40GB HDD running Gentoo Linux. It hosts the FTP server and is my main machine. Also has a LiveDrive! and HDD Caddy on the front! I need a "powered by gentoo sticker" but I cant find one so Im having to use a redhat one.

Exhibit 5: The Workspace

This is my work area, it has an extra machine that is not running at the moment, belongs to my brother and runs Win95 :eek: The pic is a bit blurred because of me wobbly hands :p (fear the blow up chair and wicked speaker covers)

Thats all for now,

Shak

[From left]

Upright on floor: quake2.fisher-online.co.uk, its an amd k6-400 running RH7.3 and is currently in the London Docklands Frontier Internet server room as my Q2 server.

Sideways on floor: claudius.fisher-online.co.uk, a duron 900 running, again RH7.3. Its on its side as im piggy-backing an extra hdd on it as I needed the extra space while testing the Q2 server... its still there but will soon be gone... as will the distro as it'll be going Gentoo soonish. Its primarily a private FTP server but also my Linux desktop.

Lappy: vespasian.fisher-online.co.uk, a p41.8gz duel booting XP pro and RH7.3. ATM im using it mmostly for work as im writing a few websites and testing Alcatel DSL kit under windows and nux... but it also has apache on it and runs MySQL and is where I host and run my ps2 games db :)

Black case on floor: augustus.fisher-online.co.uk, an Athelon 1gz duel booting XP pro and Gentoo [as of 2 days ago] and it my primary desktop... tho I havent finished painting it :p

Monitor: A 19" Sony Trinitron with duel input, one from both claudius and augustus.

The rest of the house contains a freebsd firewall, a freebsd webserver, a freebsd mail server, 2 XP pro desktops and a XP Pro lappy - bt they belong to housem8s :p

My router. It's currently running the latest version of IpCop, although I might switch it over to Gentoo because I'll need it to be able to handle extra duties soonish. Not a lot to look at I know! :rolleyes:

Main Linux Box

cm_pic_1.jpg

cm_pic_2.jpg


This is a T'Bird 800, KT7, 768MB RAM, 40GB Segate HD in silent bay enclosure, GF3 Ti200, and the highly important bbbblllloooooo fans all packaged in the lovely CM200 (do we want to start a nix box war between Lian Li and CM in ere like they have in the case mod forum or shall we stick to KDE and Gnome oh and flux). This rig is totally silent due to using a slotbus, silent PSU, 80mm cpu fan @ 5v, twin papst exhausts @ 5v and the blooooo fans @ 5v, northbridge fan and GF3 fan also @5v. Cant tell I hate noise can ya.

This is currently running RH7.3 and will definetly be getting changed to something else, maybe RH8 but prolly Woody.

The Serious Machine

case4.jpg


This is my XP2000, A7V333 Raid, 512MB PC2700 DDR, 80GB Segate Baracuda IV (the silent one), GF4 Ti4200. This rig again is totally silent due to use of a baybus, but the fans are going to get replaced by papsts soon. This is my main box currently running the living hell of XP Pro SP1 + all those other bug fixes. Used mainly for games to be honest. Need to get some other pics of it as those ones are quite old.

Did have RH7.3 running on it until my old HD file sys knackered itself (hence purchase of shiny quiet cuda IV). I'm leaving RH off it for now until I see what distro I prefer on the linux box.


Add to that my laptop (P4, ATi Radeon Mobile), and the usual old machines that I got lying around. Plus a 486 that I might do something with, maybe smoothwall for me ickle 56K modem needs.
