Welcome to uidzero.net (aka zero.vrac.iastate.edu)
So, what is UIDzero.net?
Well, you probably don't actually want to know, but I will tell you anyway.
Well, www.uidzero.net is now hosted by Bluehost.com. I no longer have a place with an external static IP.
My
current main machine is a athlon xp2 4400mhz box with 3gb of memory and
1.75tb of disk (1.5tb as 8 250gb drives as raid 6 with a arecea
hardware raid controller and a pair of 250gb disks mirrored for the
system disk). This is where I do photo editing, etc.
The older machine
is mostly used for IM while playing games on the main machine. It is a 3200MHz Athlon with 1.5gb of RAM and ~500gb of
SATA storage, plus DVD+-/RW and DVD-ROM drives. GeForce 5900 Video Card.
The other machine is a dual PII-450 box with 384mb of memory and something around
20gb of LVD SCSI disk space. The web sites and CVS repository used to be stored
on (software) mirrored 9gb drives.
ti.uidzero.net - my Apple titanium I-book. It is one of the 667 MHz
G4 Ti-books with 30gb of disk and 1gb of RAM.
thinkpad.uidzero.net - my IBM 600x thinkpad. It is a P3 600 MHz box
with 20gb of disk and 256mb of RAM. This used to be my primary laptop
but, frankly, the Tibook does what I need.
My machine at work which frequently comes home is an IBM T42p with 2gb of ram and a 2gz pentium M processor.
games.local - the other Windows box. Basically used to play games. It doesn't
even get a real IP address. A 1200+ MHz athlon with 1gb of ram and an 80gb
drive. It has what was a decent video card and such.
indigo2.uidzero.net - my SGI r10k max impact Indigo 2. A nice machine for
doing openGL work. 384mb of ram, 4gb system disk, 9gb external drive
crusty.uidzero.net - the old dual ppro box. It doesn't get much use. 256mb
of RAM, probably 6-8 gb of disk. Off right now.
UID Zero refers to the root user's user ID number on standard unix boxes.
Basically, if you are UID 0, you are r00t.
I could tell you more, but do you really care?
