After dutifully replacing the 1G of DRAM, closer examination disclosed a puffy beer-can capacitor problem. The diagnosis was terminal. (aside from mailing the board to badcaps.net and dropping $70 on install of a new set of caps)
After being placed in service in early 2002. I'm unsure which SuSE version was first installed, but it would have been in the 7.0(Air) - 8.2 timeframe. It was one of my first fully-integrated office servers providing DNS, DHCP with dyn DNS updates, Postix, Dovecot, Procmail, Spamassissin, Apache with mod_ssl, eGroupWare, Samba (1.8x days -- yes Win95 clients), with a shiny Sportster and Hylafax (and its web front-end Avantfax) it handled on average 3 - 5, 10 page faxes per-day for 15 years without a complaint. Squirrelmail, vsftp for intra-office scan-to-pdf from the Sharp copier, it dutifully toiled along. From initial telephone/fax modem technology at the beginning, to seamlessly handling iPhone calendaring, contacts, etc. in the end.
The box entered semi-retirement a decade or so ago, retaining all its use, but in a backup capacity for all but its fax-server roll. It passed through the Silicon Gates still running 11.0 (manually patched and updated for critical ssl, bash, etc.. problems).
It had a good life, but will now be laid to rest as in that ever growing tower of cases squirreled away in the bone-pile.
RIP :p
I'm a bit lost. You did send the board to have the capacitors replaced to badcaps.net, or didn't you? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
