As a side observation: for some reason those old 500-800MHz machines with old RAM and old 20-30G drives seem rock solid. They don't overheat and even though those drives are more than 10 years old, they have outlived more modern and higher speed 500G, 750G and two 1T drives.
Yup, that is also my experience. A 9.1Gb SCSI drive will easily outlive a moden 600Gb. A 6.4Gb ATA drive will easily outlive an outdated 40Gb drive. The engineers are getting very very good at building stuff that has a very exact lifetime. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
