I recently took a plunge and went to a local computer recycling center near by where I live and picked up a server by hp. Its a Netserver LPR 2U with 2 18 gig scsi drives,a Pentium III 650 CPU. I am going to be speaking with a guy that I know there in order to get a second CPU for it Since the person I had purchased it at the store mis understood that I needed a a sual PIII 650 instead of a single. The gig of ram that is in there is nice forthis system. I am going to negotiate a price for the second because I still need a second CPU if I am going to be adding Oracle 11I into it to tinker around. And install ubuntu gutsy Gibson on it as well. I paid about $100 for ut used. And I'll see at a later time how much a raid array will cost as well since tao 18 gig is not that much space to work with. And there seems to be almost no room to swap in a 160 gig drive underneath the hood to add into it as well.
ANd wanted to know what you thought about that system to tinker around with in ubuntu. And I am also looking for the manual as well for this machin and still can't find the pdf file from HP or elsewhere on the net for this as well. Since I needed to get some more information about the machine in order to get more familiar with it as well.
