The Perfect Linux Device

gsibble · 03-11-2004, 12:34 AM

You know what I want?

I want clamshell device with a small keyboard that can just touchtype with a touchscreen that can run KDE and Arch Linux. Then, I want it to have kde load up on it's 800x300 screen so I can nmap anything on any network anywhere I go

It should be less than .5 in thick and fit in my pocket easily.

That's my dream device.

Oh, and did I mention? I should run on a 2.0GHz Opteron with 512Mb of ram

Hehe. Time to go to sleep and dream.

You'll get real close to that with the new versions of the Zaurus that are planned for release...

My perfact linux Device is:
A Quad Opteron box running at 2.0 GHz with 4 Gigs of RAM and 4 250Gb SATA drives in a RAID 0+1 setup, with a 4 headed display.

Yup. That'd be sexy.

I still want my pocket hacker though. That'd be fun too.

I want a Beowulf Cluster of 1024 Athlon FX-51 Boxes that each have 4 GB of ram and some Storage servers with Hitachi's brand new 400GB drives in a RAID.

Baldorg:
And I want the IP address and root password for the cluster.

Awesome! How about the VA tech Mac G5?

it's all good!

Baldorg · 03-13-2004, 06:16 PM

I want a Mac G5 too. A brand new one with their biggest LCD screen and whatever.

I will tape myself smashing it with a sledge-hammer and burning it. I will then post it on a lot of Apple forums just to rile people up.

You would get a HUGE response!

I think they are actually taking apart the VT G5 cluster and replacing them with Xserve G5s. Last I heard they were selling off the old machines at a discounted price.
