My instant reaction to that would have been putting a stripped-down whitebox running OpenBSD as a logging firewall between the G5 and the 'net, to check for attacks on the mail and ftp subsystems.
Can you tell me what a whitebox is?
I have my personal web site on my old clamshell iBook, and it runs a dynamic DNS client every ten minutes via cron. That basically keeps the disk spinning constantly. Burned out a drive last year, and I'm worried it will burn out a drive this year. So I'm thinking of putting the client on a RAM disk, although, since I wrote the client in perl, I suspect that I'd then have to copy perl itself to the RAM disk as well.
RAM disks are so cheap now. I saw a 64MB USB on google for $8.97. Joe.
