Surplus computers

The techbootcamp was a rousing success and a helluva lot of fun. We dedicated ourselves to hardware evaluation and set up since we had to carry the donated equipment into the boneless ranch.

Check out the photo series.

After we moved everything into the space, we put the equipment onto a work bench for the inspection process. We started with the servers -- only 1 of the 4 we had actually functioned. We're saving the other 3 for parts.

We cracked the cases and switched out some RAM -- I think this means we get some street cred as systems techie types now.

Thanks to TJ for the use of the ranch space (and roommate Terry too!), Mayor Jim and Connie Lynn for the tech expertise and to all of the attendees. See you in 2 weeks to install the OS -- (Redhat? SuSE?).
