[HECnet] MONK RIP

If the idle or throttle work right sure... Otherwise.. yeah it'd kill the poor thing. On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 10:44 AM, Zane H.

I don't think it could handle a VAX instance. I've considered this, and if I do it, it will be using a new Intel Atom board, but I have my doubts on the ability of that class board to handle the load of a SIMH instance.

Additionally I wasn't sure what the state of PDXVAX was, as MONK was my primary method of access, and the console wasn't responding so I pulled the plug on PDXVAX and powered off both systems drive arrays. While I have to try to bring MONK back up at some point to recover data (thankfully I have a second XP1000), I don't think I'll be leaving it running 24x7 anymore. I was already thinking about shutting down my servers to save power. Right now my UNIX server is the only one still running, and I'm preparing to copy the data off, and redirect my DNS back to my .Mac account like I had it last Winter while we were house-hunting. I really don't have time to keep my own servers running anymore. Zane -- | Zane H.
