One of the things that WlugIncorporated are offering as an incentive for membership is an account on an Internet hosted machine.

This machine is called hoiho (named after New Zealand's YellowEyedPenguin) and will be available at hoiho.wlug.org.nz. The machine has been built and configured and has currently hosted by www.tintz.co.nz.

Wanted

RAM

the current motherboard takes 168pin SDRAM, but can only take upto 128mb per side. This means it can take either 128mb single sided or 256mb double sided dimms only. There are currently two 128mb single sided dimms in the machine with space for one more.

Software

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Woody).

Where is it hosted

Currently hosted by Tintz (www.tintz.co.nz) - thanks CraigMckenna

What it's going to do

• Run the wiki.
• Run a small public FTP server
• Allow shell access (with a small quota of FTP/webspace)
• Run CVS and related tools for LUG Members
• Run DanielLawson's super dooper scalable email setup so that lug members get their own email accounts, SpamAssassin & VirusScanning??

How to get Shell Access

If you are a paid member of WLUG then you are eligble for a shell account on this machine. To have this account created send a PGP signed email to PerryLorier. If PGP is too difficult for you, you can either ring or visit him in person.

Please see HoihoAcceptableUsePolicy for what you can and can't do with this machine.
