[IMC-Sysadmin] Re: docs.indy new home ?

I just finished talking with espe about some ideas for docs/RT and
IRCd replacement.

The things we talked about were:

. using judi
  judi is a 4u dual 800mhz machine that is doing nothing
  we can't put this machine in the colo in california (they only take
  1u and 2u boxes...), the machine wouldn't be in san francisco for 
  another couple of weeks and then would need to be fit into a smaller
  box and even then would not really meet the requirements for docs.
  recommendation: sell the machine

. che
  che is a 700mhz pentium pro with some memory problem and some scsi
  problem, it is a very loud box. we think that instead of trying to
  solve these problems for a machine that is underpowered and very old,
  it should be sold for whatever we can get (probably no more than $100)

. 1u 
  espe has a 1u that he can build out a debian install that is not
  very powerful, need to get more specs from him. the SFIMC has a
  6megabit DSL line in their downtown office that this machine could
  be put in. we can see how the latency and stability of this DSL is
  and then decide if it is good enough to put IRCd there. the office
  is not used often, so it would probably be fine.  
  
. use IMC tech funds
  spend < $1,000 and buy a decent 2u box with a gig of memory, some big
  IDE disks, and some decent processors and then put this machine into
  the colo where che was, make this the docs/RT server

. sell kropotkin
  sell this machine and put the money towards buying the docs
  machine
    
Just some ideas that we talked about that i wanted to get out to the
list, thoughts?
