Since I have received a number of email messages on this, I thought I'd mention what kernel.org's hardware needs are. If it's not on this list we really can't use it; we appreciate the thought, though.
In the short term:
- 8 73GB (or larger) SCSI SCA disks -- identical, please. (I believe we already have an offer for these.) - If someone happens to have a VA Linux 9008 disk enclosure, *or* two 2U 8-disk SAF-TE enclosures of some other brand, that would be useful too.
In the long term, we would like to replace the entire server and reduce the space we take in the racks at ISC. My goal there would be to replace our current 8U footprint (2U server + 2U disk shelf + 4U disk shelf) with something more like 4U total. I would really like the new server to support full remote administration, such as the remote screen/keyboard/mouse/floppy/power switch card Compaq have been selling recently.
