$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
model name : Pentium II (Deschutes)
cpu MHz : 334.113
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
Using this as a firewall too. Started out as a RHL 6.2 box with
ipchains, upgraded it to CentOS 4 when the hd gave up - upgraded the
firewall script for iptables -, then to CentOS 5 when yet another hd
died. This box has been running for over 10 years, I estimate for 8
hours a day on average, survived a flash fire in the power supply after
it gathered a bit too much dust but no other issues :)
Had to increase the amount of RAM when installing CentOS 4, but it's
mostly unused:
$ free
total used free shared buffers
cached
Mem: 255468 157688 97780 0 39360
70304
-/+ buffers/cache: 48024 207444
Swap: 987956 0 987956
