  • Cool idea, assuming you can find a way to attach hard drives directly to the DCs.
    That guy's DC netboots and NFS-mounts root...suppose you could have a whole server farm doing that, but then you're just shifting the cost; you now have to buy beefy netboot servers that Don't Go Down(tm).
    Add in that the DC doesn't have much RAM and isn't expandable, and it looks rather grim...but I still love the idea of a rack full of DCs. :)

  • for £200 (with kb & mouse) I got a DC as a quirky puta. Just waiting for the NetBSD, Inferno SH3/4 & linux-Dc projects to sort me out a bootable OS with kb, mouse & video support and I'm away.

    Damn my TV broke so I'll need one of those too!


    .oO0Oo.

  • If you're serving static HTML anyway, just create a RAM disk and serve your content off of that.
  • Now i can stop plyaing DinoCrisis and do something *productive* with my DreamCast!

    Hell, i only bought the damn thing to run NBSD (and plus it droped down to $99!).

    Of course, everyone thinks I'm insane for wanting to run NBSD on the dreamcast...

    NO SPORK
  • NetBSd was meant to be a niche market. With FreeBSD working on PPC and sparc support and OpenBSD offering more security with decent multi platform support there is no need for it in the "real" market. NetBSD place is running on VAX's and toasters and Dreamcasts.
  • I'm horny and covered in my own feces head-to-toes. Who wants to lick me clean? =)
