| D-side | ugh these people are insane. i need a reputable site to get two gig (pair of 1gb dimms) of pc2700 $99/module is insane. |
| Tini_cpn | *sigh* |
| linuxpoa | hello, how to install centos 4.2 in K6 II machine? install options is linux i586 ? |
| D-side | no point in doing anything other than i386, especially not on that dinosaur. personally i think you'd be better off installing the k6-II at the bottom of a lake. :D |
| evil_steve | D-side: now, be nice, it would work great in a trebuchet or ballista |
| Tini_cpn | Evolution: ahh.. i know your msg :'( :'( :'( sorry. very so sorry. so. you are Evolution :) |
| D-side | Evil_steve: ooooh thanks. you reminded me i have to find that desktop trebuchet kit i found online today |
| helfrez | D-side, there was on on gizmodo, but thinkgeek also sells a nice one |
| lang72 | linuxpoa: Debian might be a better distro on old hardware linuxpoa: #debian |
| D-side | http://www.firebox.com/product/1767?src_t=sbk&src_id=trebuchet $23 USD |
| keanne | the hba driver is recorded in hwconf, so i think it the module is loaded before the network initialization takes place |
| linuxpoa | lang72, my K6 is my firewall machine, centos 4.3 server is i586, but boot: ???? linux i586 ?? lang72, sorry centos server 4.2 |
| lang72 | linuxpoa: Firewall? Use Debian or OpenBSD. Smaller and and more tuned for old stuff |
| linuxpoa | lang72, ok thanks friend |
| lang72 | linuxpoa: But in theory it is only two things that really matters: Disk and RAM. You can use Centos if you got enough of those linuxpoa: My Linux router have 16MB disk and 4MB RAM. It runs http://openwrt.org/ . Linux can be used on small things if you choose the right distro |
| D-side | i'm not sure i see a real NEED for centos on something thats going to be a firewall on THAT hardware |
| linuxpoa | lang72, i need squid and apache |
| evil_steve | D-side: I got a p90 with two 10-base-T cards in it does that work for you? |
| D-side | Evil_steve: you're one of "those", aren't you |
| lang72 | linuxpoa: Debian do have squid and apache |
| D-side | you've never thrown out a machine in your life. :D |
| bobnn | why would an install of debian be better than a minimal install of Centos? |
| evil_steve | D-side: yes, I have, I filled 3 hoppers when I moved at christmas, and gave away another 20 odd machines to the local LUG that only left 2 truckloads to move |
| linuxpoa | D-side, last case, in LTSP station !! ;) |
| D-side | Evil_steve: its a start. good luck. :D |
| bobnn | p90 is a good doorstop |
| lang72 | bobnn: It is easier to install a small Debian and then add packages then install Centos and then remove packages bobnn: The installer alone in Centos needs a lot of RAM A Buffalo Linux router with 100Mbit switch, wireless network, 200Mhz CPU, 16 MB disk and 4 MB RAM costs around 40 Euro It can run OpenWRT Linux |
| bobnn | a wrt54gl costs 59 USD |
