...is the main "Workstation" and is an old Compaq 200MHz Pentium
1/MMX.
It has 2 Hard Drives, the main one is 2GB and the secondary one is
500MB. The small drive is mounted as /home.
A recent addition has been an ATI Xpert98 8MB video card, allowing
1152x864 @ 24bit. Unfortunately this is the limit of resolution I
can get with my Compaq V55 monitor
Lurcher has a CDROM drive, a Tape drive for backups, an old
Soundblaster 16 and a 3Com 3c509B ethernet NIC
It has 96MB RAM, and probably won't get any more.
The main use is as a general purpose computer, email, web browsing,
news etc.
I do Seti@Home and Lurcher takes around 40 hours per Work Unit.
This box is also as the access point to the other Linux machines of
the internal LAN.
All the Linux boxes on the LAN use OpenSSH (although they do have
telnet servers as well) and are all configured from SSH sessions on
Lurcher.
They all run Webmin but mostly I do everything longhand (using
vim).
Lurcher also runs N-Top in Webserver mode. Currently it's running
version 2.0.1
Lurcher has an FTP server running to allow easy access to the cdrom
from the other boxes when updating software etc.
Greyhound, the gateway box, has a cacheing DNS server (Bind 8)
which forward requests to Demon's webserver if necessary. This
allows local machines to easily access network services from the
Linux boxes without having individual "host" files.
The LAN uses an HP500 attached to Lurcher as its network printer -
via "lpd".
Remote X Applications
Lurcher is the only box with a monitor and keyboard permanently
attached but the (currently) 2 Servers will run a few
X-applications (xload, Xbiff and Xosview) and display them on
Lurcher's display.
