We have too many computers – looked at one way; in other ways, we don't have enough.

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
  • Video: nVidia GeForce 256 6200
    • The 256 card developed some kind of minor electrical glitch which caused horizontal banding, so we replaced it

Melorr

Mel's laptop

Mokey

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

  • OS: Xubuntu 7.10
  • CPU: Celeron 1.6 GHz (64-bit? not sure; using 32-bit Xubuntu)
  • RAM: 1 GB
  • HD: constantly adding more; was up to a terabyte last time I checked

The basement-rat server; runs Apache and MySQL for web site development; stores backups

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 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

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

Josh's machine

Not on the network; very outdated Pentium-something running Windows 98.

Off-Site Family Computers

Anna Nikola

  • OS: WinXP, I think
  • Model: HP Pavilion 511n
  • CPU: Intel Celeron 1300 MHz
  • RAM: 256 MB
  • HD:

Not sure if she's using this anymore; she got a Mac sometime over the summer of 2009.

Disused

Bunsen 1.1

  • Sysbd: Soyo K7VME
  • OS: Fedora Core 6 Kubuntu 8.04
  • RAM: 1/2 GB (483064 kB)
  • CPU: 1.6 GHz AMD Sempron(tm) 2400+ (1664.574 MHz)

Developed problems in 1/2 of RAM, and wouldn't boot Kubuntu 9.10 liveCD even after RAM was fixed; set up new Bunsen on former-Gonzo, then installed Bunsen's original main HD and copied user files over.

Retired

Vincent 1.1

  • CPU: "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.50GHz" at 1495.302 MHz
  • Specs: Compaq Presario 5320US (HP Amazon)
  • RAM: 512kb
  • HD: 55.8 GB primary, also a ~20 GB secondary ("Nymineteen")
  • OS: Windows 98

Sysboard became "Bert" (Z&B's machine) after refurb HD was added; the 55 & 20 GB drives were moved to Vincent 1.2

Gonzo I

  • OS: Kubuntu 7.10
  • Sysbd: ASUS A7N266-VM (1 GB RAM max)
  • CPU: AMD Athlon(TM) XP 1800+, 1529.384 MHz
  • RAM: 743172 kB

Was woozle's main desktop; replaced by Gonzo 2. Hardware became Bunsen 2.

Deceased

Vincent 1.0

  • Sysbd: Biostar U8668 (2 GB RAM max)
  • CPU: Intel x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 4, whatever that is
  • RAM: 1022 MB RAM (1 GB)

Sysbd died suddenly; see Log below.

Log

  • 2009-11-04 Set up new 500 GB HD on former Gonzo 1.1 (which wasn't really being used) with Kubuntu 9.10; became new Bunsen. Old Bunsen not in use. Moved Bunsen 1.1's main HD over to copy files from.
  • 2009-02-03 Moved Vincent's HDs over to Gonzo I; video and most system drivers seem to work.
  • 2009-01-19 Gonzo I got replaced by Gonzo II over the summer
  • 2008-01-02 Vincent got fried by a dying power supply; it turns out Rizzo's only problem was an electrically-problematic HD, so old Rizzo is now taking Vincent's place. All it took was finding Win98 drivers for the video and onboard ethernet.
