[57north-discuss] [FS] IBM workstation in need of a good home

[Calum Chisholm]

Hi Andrea,
I had been using it as a combination NAS / MythTV back-end / Squeezebox
server and general purpose desktop, and I've never found it lacking CPU or
memory resources. It's not going to compete with a modern server for
serious number crunching, but it's still a pretty capable machine,
particularly if you're making use of the extra RAM and/or expansion slots.
It originally came with Redhat installed, so you'll find it should have
pretty good Linux support.

Cheers,
Calum
