    I posted this elsewhere, but thought that my "birthing list" might also be
    interested... (you can also tell me if I got anything wrong).

    3:23pm up 30 days, 3:48, 2 users, load average: 0.04, 0.03, 0.00
    41 processes: 40 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
    CPU states: 1.4% user, 5.0% system, 0.0% nice, 93.4% idle
    Mem: 384916K av, 338460K used, 46456K free, 45564K shrd, 240820K buff
    Swap: 787312K av, 80K used, 787232K free 11184K cached

    Happy Birthday Timo! (up now for thirty days straight)

    Timo is a Sun SPARC10 that I bought from a student for 300 EUR
    (including a large monitor that I didn't really want) and which
    began a new life as a "catch-all and practice" server running Linux
    SuSE 7.3. Because Timo is "genetically" a SPARC, I ended up compiling
    Apache with PHP myself, learning how to use CPAN (the automated
    facility for installing addional Perl modules, and much more. This
    was a wonderful learning process.

    Timo has a slow (but RISC!) processor, fairly fast SCSI drives and
    is now serving photographs (1600+) using a PHP-based program
    (Gallery) as well as static webpages that have no other home.

    -Kevin
