rhiann was a previous private box. It ran FreeBSD most of the
time, had a W95-partition to play games, use Shoebox (when
Wine refused to cooperate),
and watch quicktime-crap. The root shell was a static, slightly
stripped zsh, and the favorite wm was windowmaker.
| CPU |
: |
iP200 MMX |
| RAM |
: |
64 MB SIMM EDO. In the last parts of rhiann's life, it
was very unstable; never staying up longer than a week.
Turned out to be the memory... |
| HDDs |
: |
- 1 x 4.3 GB Quantum Fireball ST, Ultra ATA
- 2 x 9.1 GB IBM Ultrastar 9ES, Ultra-2 SCSI Fast/Wide.
These two are fantastic. Silent, cool, no problems what
so ever. Migrated to newer machine.

*sniffle* what a shame... |
| Monitor |
: |
17" Targa, model TM4267-1. Cheapest 17" I could find back
then, and surprisingly good for its price. |
| NiC |
: |
3C509B Etherlink III ISA Combo. It "disappeared" all by
itself after a while. Good riddance, but I wouldn't have
minded som hard cash for it. |
| CD-ROM |

Toshiba XM-6002B ATAPI (discontinued). Great drive, still
keep it around to read problematic cds. |
| Sound |

SB AWE 64 Value |
| Case |

Teles.BRI-PnP/16.3c. Before it wound up on NVGs lab, it
used ISDN to get in touch with the world. |
| Scanner |
: |
Microtek Phantom 4800, the EPP version
(discontinued) |
| Other stuff |
: |
Zip-drive, the parallell version (sold). |
| Primary OS |
: |
FreeBSD. The first
version was 2.1-RELEASE, the last was 3.3-RELEASE. It ran
STABLE, then CURRENT for a while; but make worlds were a
pain... took about eight hours, best-case. It got through the
2.x to 3.x-change, and went from a.out to ELF. |
