I apologize in advance that this is somewhat off topic. I am beginning to feel a need to have a PC/server, to run Linux, that would be extremely reliable and long lasting.
I would use it for 1) Holding a personal CVS repository 2) Running a nameserver 3) SSH port tunneling 4) Possibly serving files from an attached external storage device. None of the above tasks requires a great deal of CPU and file writing. I will not need a GUI on this machine. My own thinking about this includes: 1) A SSD to hold the data (as I said, I do not anticipate a lot of repetitive writes). 2) A fanless power supply 3) A very low power consumption CPU, like Intel ATOM. The objective here is low power, cool temperature, and absence of any rotating parts. Any thoughts on this? Thanks guys, and again, sorry for the OT post. i ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
