lol... not sure how well that one would go over with the employer There are lots of things I could think of. If it were me, and I could do anything I would use it strictly for experimentation, since that's what I typically do with everything just to learn and mess with things. I'd have to know more about the networking side of things to give specifics on how, but some things I could think of are VPN servers, httpd, ftpd, dns/bind, virtual machines for various experiments (though RAM may be a limiting factor here), etc. Sorry, I'm sure that probably doesn't give you much to go off of. Oh, I got it! Create multiple VPS's for your fellow jaxlug members and give them each a root shell of their own! :D hehehe On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 6:21 PM, Rafael Troncoso <[email protected]> wrote: > A jaxlug megaupload? :D > > On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 5:07 PM, robert mckennon <[email protected]> wrote: >> My company has an HP Itanium RX-3600 (not onsite unfortunately), but >> it's ours.
