New Server for PLUG Server a Brand New Website

[Technomage Hawke]

A PIII 80 Mhz eh? thats a good firewall box. <smile>
I have one even older than that still operating here (PII 400Mhz 256 MB ram using openbsd 4.1). with over 1.5K days in operation, its been very reliable.  so? if anyone wants a firewall box setup using that old server, I can put the OS in place and setup PF for them.

And although it's still a perfectly functional machine, it's only a PIII 800 with 512Mb of ram.  It just couldn't keep up with the world of 2011 anymore.
