Animal

• RAM: 0.5 GB (509400 kB)
• CPU: Pentium III 731.594 MHz, ~384 MB RAM, ~40 GB HD
• OS: Ubuntu 6.10 Kubuntu 9.04

This was Josh's last machine, formerly Zander's (Zander now has Bert)

Beaker

• OS: Windows 98
• sysbd: Shuttle AK11 v3.2
• RAM: 768 MB (1.5 GB max) - 3 x 168-Pin PC100/PC133 SDRAM
• CPU: AMD Duron 1 GHz

Harena's Windows-addiction machine, now used only for Eudora and games

Basically decommissioned as of March 2014; Eudora has been moved to FakeBeaker (Win98SE running in VirtualBox on Bunsen). Beaker is still the only machine currently capable of sharing a printer on Samba, but the Brother is now plugged into Bunsen anyway. I can't remember what the status of Linux-based sharing was; possibly the planned OS update to Bunsen will fix zeroconf.

Cookie

Renamed to Animal, presumably when I wiped it and installed Kubuntu 9.04

Floyd

Harena's laptop

GuySmiley

This was a computer we found in someone's front yard on trash day, presumably sitting out for the bulky item pick up (you put bulky items out on trash day and they pick them up the day after). It had been rained on a little so I wasn't expecting anything much, but when I fired it up it seemed to be a perfectly good WinXP system... with a lot of spyware, which I killed using ClamAV, and Symantec malware, which I killed using RegEdit.

• Model: Dell OptiPlex GX300 - service tag GPYL201 - express service code 36398261089 - specs
• CPU: Pentium III, 927 MHz
• Memory: 512 MB (1 GB max, but memory type is not clear -- RDRAM, RIMM)
  • this may be what is needed
• Video: nVidia GeForce 256 6200
  • The 256 card developed some kind of minor electrical glitch which caused horizontal banding, so we replaced it

2009-12-29 Refuses to acknowledge USB keyboard or mouse running through KVM switch. Maybe it's a switch-compatibility issue, or maybe it's just too old to handle USB devices through the BIOS.

Josh's unnamed machine

Not on the network; very outdated Pentium-something running Windows 98.

Melorr

• OS: Windows XP (not by our choice...)

Mel's laptop for awhile, not sure of current status

Mokey

• Windows 98

Currently in retirement; needs new power supply. Slated to become Benjamin's PC (though at this rate it will be obsolete before we find a place to set it up).

Rizzo

former Rizzo sysbd became Waldorf, most functions moved to Statler.

Scooter

Woozle's Sony Vaio laptop

• OS: Kubuntu 8.10 Ubuntu 9.10
  • ran Kubuntu ok up through v8.04, but 8.10 was very sluggish so had to downgrade to Ubuntu
• CPU: ~600 Mhz
• RAM: 256 MB (max)

Vincent

Vincent 1.2

• OS: Win98
• Sysbd: Asus A7N266-VM (1 GB RAM max)
• CPU: AMD Athlon(TM) XP 1800+, 1529.384 MHz
• RAM: 743172 kB 992 MB
• History:
  • 2009-02-20 Replaced power supply; traded 256 MB memory module for another 512 MB from NewEgg
  • 2009-02-22 Updated BIOS from v1004/AA to v1008 beta; re-ran Windows setup to get it working again
  • 2009-?? I *think* this stopped being happy with Windows, so I gave it to Harena to become #Bunsen. This would have happened shortly after we found #GuySmiley.

Woozle's Windows-addiction machine; used for CoolEdit Pro, PaintShop Pro
