I have a pair of ultra 5's that are currently being used as bookends in
my office. I don't think either of them has been powered on in 3-4
years. They do a great job of keeping the books straight. 8-) I had
some E250 and E450 machines that I believe got donated to a local school
a while back. I'm not sure if they continued to run Slowlaris on them
or if they installed some incarnation of Linux. I figure any remotely
modern laptop could probably compute rings around any of these boxes
with much lower power usage, cooling and space requirements.
Now when CentOS runs on a PDP-11, that might be worth a trip to the
attic to see if THAT still runs. 8-)
Cheers,
