Sizzle
Yeesh. Apparently, we're in for 95 degree
weather, to compliment our 93 degree weather today. Bleh.
It's hot and humid, even in an air-conditioned
office.
Debian
Thanks to the power of a faster Internet
connection at home, I'm downloading the Debian 2.2r3 ISOs I built
at work, for loading on my old Sparc 2. Hopefully, this load
will go a bit better than the attempts to get Solaris
net-booting off a Linux system (I've pretty much given up on
it, although I have a feeling I'm close to having it working
and am giving up too soon). Next job is to get the Ultra 1
up and running properly with Solaris 8 running on it, and to
revive the Indigo (IRIX 5.3). What a collection of hardware;
the only things I'm really missing are PA-RISC (have a dead
D-Class system sitting on the floor though), Alpha (can
probably pick that up pretty cheap now that Compaq has
effectively killed
it), and PowerPC (mmm, G5s
should be showing up soon).
