No idea..But yeah, I'm going to get a beefy server with serious internet access (the place provides a gigabit pipe) for running various fun stuff on. Of course if other HECnet users have an idea for a cool project to run as a VM on the server, that'd be fun too.
Will you let me run NT 4 TSE on it? ;)
I'd love NT 4 on a gigabit pipe...
It's a sickness.

Urgh, I'd rather compile it from source, I use MacPorts and occasionally Fink, I'm not installing yet another package manager.
I wish Apple had something for the userland like they do via the App Store for applications.

Oooooh, we could install PATHWORKS on that, PowerTerm over RDP, wooo
Yes we could! Hmmm!
Actually what does NT 4 use for remote access?
NT 4 TSE uses RDP protocol 4. rdesktop (it's in homebrew!) supports it via the -4 option.

Could probably run a few FreeAXP / PersonalAlpha instances on that too.

Guys,
I've decided to move out of the UK but will keep all the machines in area 8 running by renting a 1/3rd rack from a colo provider.
At the moment I have an iMac running a bunch of VM's and SIMH instances including GORVAX that I was thinking about replacing with a 2U server, and found this on eBay:
For some reason i'm imagining you coloing an iMac G4 ;)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-SE1102-Twin-Quad-Core-2-5Ghz-12GB-RAM-1U-SATA-…
Would that make a decent VMWare / SIMH host?
Seems okay, but: http://www.weirdstuff.com/cgi-bin/item/386355-2 Cluster 'em and grab RAM for them. ;)

Shipping plus duties + VAT would make those pretty expensive to get over to the UK
Good point didn't think of that...
