It's time to retire our venerable IBM RS6000 model F80.
We're switching from DB2 on AIX to Oracle on x86 so I need some ideas on what to do with the old girl. I never touched it once in 3 years!
Specs: 2 x 450mhz RS64III CPU's. 4 Gigs of RAM.
I already googled around and Linux is a no go for this model. Firmware makes the kernel hang at boot time. So I'll have to stick with AIX.
We don't really need any file or print servers or anything. I guess it could house/data warehouse databases for us. Maybe it could run mysql DB's for our websites?
Folding @ home?
