The lp1000r is a decent machine, and we could use it to replace Asgard, or maybe we can use and upgraded Asgard to screen incoming email and possibly as a backup machine. In the longer term, we would like to get a more recent multi-cpu system with virtualization. Neither Asgard nor Olduvai really have enough in the tank to do a good job at virtualization. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
