Seems this was misonderstood by a lot of people. I am *not* to give
the machines away physically, they're also not to be scrapped.
I worked hard to get me a nice collection of different VAX models (and
some speedy boxes, too) to be a build farm for Debian The Other Day.
Right now, Linux isn't that far (and it's still a *very* long way), so
my offer is: I am willing to let these machines run and eg. give
NetBSD a home to build packages.
Caveats:
* I only have RFC1918 addresses and (as a regular DSL user) get a
different public IP address every day. (Though I'm a DynDNS user,
so there's a stable name.)
* Once the machines are set-up, I'd provide a ssh hopper box (along
with serial access) and/or IP port forwarding on high ports to the
NetBSD machines.
* Bandwidth is limited (it always is!), but traffic is flat.
* If they're spinning for more that a day every now and then, it
would be nice to get some bucks for electricity.
* As these machines don't have a lot (if at all) HDD space, I'd
probably provide NFS.
One person asked for (one of) the machines to do graphic hacking. If
anybody is interested to /lend/ a box for a specific project and for
limited time, I'd do that, too. But in the long term, I'd like to
/keep/ those machines, not to /scrap/ them.
MfG, JBG
