Hardware:-

1x 1GHz Celeron HP Laptop running Ubuntu Feisty. Used when I am working somehwere I commute to on the train.
1x 2.2GHZ Pentium M Dell XPS laptop running Ubuntu Feisty. Was bought as a desktop replacement.. but..
1x 2.6GHz Core2Duo Mesh Desktop running (you guessed it) Ubuntu Feisty - My main machine
1x 1.7GHz Pentium 4 Compaq Desktop running Ubuntu Edgy - Wifeys desktop

1x 600MHz Pentium III Compaq Proliant server running Debian sarge - was running proxy, mail and www for popey.com until very recently
1x 233MHz Pentium MMX (bless) Beige box running Debian sarge - firewall - about to be decommissioned after 2.5 years continuous fault-free service.

Numerous 400MHz Pentium II Dell desktops used as scratch servers here and there running

The proliant and the beige firewall are now redundant as I have moved from ADSL back to NTL cable, and have moved my website and email to my virtual server (from bitfolk - which I can *highly*
recommend) and as such don't need multiple IP addresses or other funky firewall rules. The benefit is that the electricity bills should go down a bit with that being switched off. Bit of an end of an
era really. popey.com has been served by that box - and a 400MHz PII before that - for a few years now. Time has come to accept that serving a site and hosting email on the end of my DSL connection
isn't robust enough for me. I'll be sad to say goodbye to that box.

Goodbye colossus - I'll miss you.. *sniff*
