Computers, computers everywhere
I spend far too much time managing computers and not enough time coding, writing, playing with siblings, and doing school work. Part of this problem stems from my wanting a separate computer for each server role i.e. DNS on one box, NIS on another, NFS on another and so on. That approach does increase reliability but it also increases the electric bill and time spent that would have been better spent on other things. I would like to consolidate all of my computers onto a single system except for my desktop, laptop, and 2 HP 9000's that I want to use for a
OpenBSD HP-PA port. Current plan is to wait until mid December in hope that Dad can get an IBM xSeries server from work, if not I will try to sell off the excess computers and acquire some sort of multi processor system, perhaps a sun 220R or 240 or RS/6K. Even if Dad does not get the xSeries server I will still sell off most of my computers because they are reaching the age where their resale value drops sharply.
