Yes, this machine does one heck of a lot. It was running windows around 18 months ago, when most of our other machines had already been converted to linux, so I used it for test-driving FreeBSD. Since then it's a web server, email server, has tons of useful software (the newest being vigor) thanks to the ports collection... > The real crime is the way in which we waste that power. Yup.
