-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- As most of you probably know, web.lanscape.net, the server that is the home for SILUG, EASUG, LUCI, and a bunch of other stuff, is only a 486DX2/66. It performs amazingly well. (Not so amazing when you are used to the performance of Linux, but still pretty cool.) There are times when I'd like it to be a bit faster, and since I recently got ahold of some more hardware, I thought it would be pretty cool to do some upgrades. I'm only lacking a few (essential) things, but, unfortunately, I can't afford the extra hardware needed. SILUG (as a group) has a bit of money that will be used, which will quite likely cover the essentials (that I don't already have or can't cover myself), but if any of you would like to donate some money to cover "optional" components (tape drive, etc.), please send it to me at the following address: Steven Pritchard 732 N Bruns Ln Apt C Springfield, IL 62702 Here's the configuration we should be able to cover without any additional help: Dual P100 64 MB RAM 6.4 GB IDE HD ISA network card (all I have spare at the moment) cheap PCI video card Any additional money will go toward 1) tape backup, 2) lots of tapes, 3) spiffy 10/100 PCI ethernet card, 4) more RAM, 5) SCSI instead of IDE, 6) bigger disk(s), and (this is real optional) 7) CD-ROM drive(s). (If you are wondering why I want to go dual P100, I've got three P100 CPUs I'm not using at the moment. I have a motherboard for one, but since I'm not actually using it, that gives me two plus a spare.) If I can get everything in the next week, we can use it at next Saturday's InstallFest up here as a server.
