Got this server for free, so I talked about it on my blog !

Do you guy have any ideas on what I could run or install on this thing ? (For fun of course, nothing serious!)

I’m pretty young, so I never used floppy before

How do you kids keep getting on my lawn.

Get a PIX firewall to keep us out!

holy crap does that bring back memories

i would prolly try and get some kind of linux variant installed for containerized nonsense

I did get Debian 12 installed on this thing, hard drive configuration was awful (you need a CD for that!!)

ha, yeah.. always keep a burner just in case. i installed a lot of these things. i remember having dozens of those white/blue ibm server disks

pretty damn reliable once up and running. i only ever had wear and tear failures.. fans/drives

I'm glad I still have a CD-DVD burner on my laptop for this ahah!

I still can't figure out if there is a web interface for "managing" this thing, I know IPMI work, but I'm starting to test things around those ASM ports in the back... Do you have any insight on that by any chance ?

Holy crap, I have this exact same server that I got for free and I have been trying to get rid of it

I'm sure you'll find some weird nerd like me to get it off your hands
