<html><head><style type='text/css'>p { margin: 0; }</style></head><body><div style='font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000'>John-Thomas, megadave - I have no problem holding a few servers for a few weeks. Like I said, they're just sitting on the floor ( next to some 10/100 hubs that came with the building ). I'll probably bring them to the next GRLUG to be wiped; how do you feel about Nextena OS? ;)<br><br>Casey - How are you on physical network ports / DHCP addresses? Do have
room for 10 more, or should I bring a spare switch? Or should we split
the servers into 2 GRLUG meetings?<br><br>
I'm guessing everyone will want the matching rack-mounting rails and
Y-Power cable, so I'll bring those along as well ( FYI - these
have dual power supplies, and they're pretty loud ). <br><br>I'll try to arrive at the next GRLUG meeting a little early, so we can get the servers unloaded and setup. All of the servers have Dell's RAC management cards which includes a JAVA based KVM, so we could use that in liue of keyboards/monitors to keep the external requirements down. <br><br><br>I'm really glad these systems can be of some use, especially if they can help the Linux community.<br> <br><br>Regards,<br>Scott<br><br><hr id="zwchr"><b>From: </b>"Ryan Pusztai" <rpusztai@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>"Mailing List for LUG in greater Grand Rapids, MI area." <grlug@grlug.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Wednesday, January 11, 2012 10:12:16 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [GRLUG] Anyone want an OLD Dell 1750 server<br><br><p>Thanks so much!<br>
