BU*,
Not sure if this is applicable or useful for anyone, but thought it was
worth passing on. Wikimedia (parent of Wikipedia) is retiring a lot of
servers and offering them up to other groups, here are the general specs:
Dual CPU 2.5 GHz
From 3GB to 24GB of RAM, depending on role.
Most have 80 GB or larger HDD (some have two hard drives, some drives
are 160GB or possibly even 250GB)
You can send all requests for servers to servers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
