Now I know you need to know about the hardware.  It is a i686 with 4  
processors 1.8 Tb of space, it is running a modified redhat linux  
flavor:

uname -a
Linux minnie 2.4.19-122_MVD_SNAPenterprise #1 SMP Fri Aug 20 15:51:56  
CST 2004 i686 unknown

Let me know what else you need to make this information more helpful  
to you.
