Solar, We spoke on efnet about this - I went ahead and asked Brian G. and we are prepared to let the gentoo project use the following: Single 1U Server with the following specifications: ftpserve0:/home/dalvarez# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz stepping : 4 cpu MHz : 2399.756 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm bogomips : 4784.12 ftpserve0:/home/dalvarez# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1515 1441 73 0 128 1042 -/+ buffers/cache: 271 1244 Swap: 7624 1 7623 ftpserve0:/home/dalvarez# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md1 218G 44G 174G 21% / tmpfs 758M 8.0K 758M 1% /dev/shm /dev/md0 228M 16M 201M 8% /boot ftpserve0:/home/dalvarez# ftpserve0:/home/dalvarez# lspci 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset Host Bridge (rev 04) 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04) 0000:00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 05) 0000:00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 05) 0000:00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801BA IDE U100 (rev 05) 0000:00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #1) (rev 05) 0000:00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM SMBus (rev 05) 0000:00:1f.4 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #2) (rev 05) 0000:02:06.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08) 0000:02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08) 0000:02:08.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27) ftpserve0:/home/dalvarez# This machine is racked and ready to be re-installed with your choice of operating system. (gentoo of course) we are willing to donate 100mbit unmetered bandwidth - you can see our latency at http://stats.ptptech.com/ On a side note, how much IP space do you guys need? (we will see if it's reasonable). The drives are currently setup as software raid - there are two IDE drives. If all goes well - and you guys utilize our server we will be willing to provide a second server with the following specifications (this machine is not built yet) 1U opteron dual core 170 w/ 2-4 gig ram W/ SATA drives *unknown drive space* Please let me know who I need to speak to and what steps i need to take next. dalvarez[@]ptptech[.]com
This server would be located in the Ashburn VA Equinix facility
Sorry for the late reply. I've been afk at training and conferences the last two weeks. Thanks for the offer! I think we could definately use another machine in our infra. I was a little confused about one thing. Does this machine have 1.5G or 2G of ram? I'm not sure how much IP space we will need. We'll probably prefer reinstalling it per our specs just to be on the safe side. Thanks again!
The machine has 1.5GB of ram How should we go about getting gentoo installed - should we install it and provide root to someone? or boot to a gentoo cd - fireup sshd etc. Also let me know what's needed on the IP space.

If that works for you, I'd prefer that, if it doesn't just let me know an alternate method. > Also let me know what's needed on the IP space. For this specific box, or the future?

The machine maxes at 512 MB modules and there's 3 banks so 1.5GB is max > > > How should we go about getting gentoo installed - should we install it and > > provide root to someone? or boot to a gentoo cd - fireup sshd etc. > > We generally have sponsors put the box up on a livecd, give us acces, we build, > then coordinate a reboot.

On a side note we can provide remote reboot so we wont have to really 'coordinate' - in the future (not sure how long) serial console over ssh also. > > > Also let me know what's needed on the IP space. > > For this specific box, or the future? for this specific box - and possibly if we donate another machine. >
*sigh* yet another bug where this has slipped by somebody. Daniel Alvarez: is this still available at all?
