I've been speaking with rob from Edinburgh University. Some machines
that were originally skip-bound have been rescued and they will be
being donated to the society.
13:37 < rob> adapa: ok in the loft, sparc wise, I have two Sun
Ultra5's, a sparcserver 5 and a sparcstation 10
13:38 < rob> I can't remember the individual specs of each, I'll have
to go through them and see what's what
We don't have to worry about transport either as he's been looking for
an excuse to come up to Aberdeen.
Not sure what the timescale is on these, but we'll be able to ditch
the virtual machines once these are in. Obviously these are all SPARC
machines so we're still looking to get an x86/x86-64 system in, but
it's a start.
I'm going to have to ask Naveed/Gordon about housing these as I was
told they'd just purchased a new rack, but we could quite quickly end
up needing one of our own. There's not much in the way of room left in
208, it was a bit of a struggle to get aquarion (http://bit.ly/dhZ0Hw)
in.
