I made a blog post about an old IBM server!

blog.krafting.net IBM xSeries eServer 346 #1 – First Look – Krafting's Lab

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/17048910

Got this server for free, so I talked about it on my blog !

Do you guy have any ideas on what I could run or install on this thing ? (For fun of course, nothing serious!)

I’m pretty young, so I never used floppy before

How do you kids keep getting on my lawn.
- Get a PIX firewall to keep us out!
holy crap does that bring back memories

i would prolly try and get some kind of linux variant installed for containerized nonsense
- I did get Debian 12 installed on this thing, hard drive configuration was awful (you need a CD for that!!)
  
  ha, yeah.. always keep a burner just in case. i installed a lot of these things. i remember having dozens of those white/blue ibm server disks
  
  pretty damn reliable once up and running. i only ever had wear and tear failures.. fans/drives
Holy crap, I have this exact same server that I got for free and I have been trying to get rid of it
- I'm sure you'll find some weird nerd like me to get it off your hands
