Does anyone know the oldest piece of machinery, still pingable, running Debian? What about not pingable? How about the least expensive machine, in real or nominal terms, ever/still running Debian?
I've got a 486 DX2 66Mhz with 8 Mo RAM (2x4, filling 8 slots), on an exotic VIP mothercard (VLB + ISA + PCI). It's my gateway the Internet (ADSL connection) and my LAN. It's running a minimal Debian Woody. And I had to stop any non-essential process to upgrade perl recently, due to memory lack.
In fact some SPARC 10 that were running Debian at work until recently were older.
How about the most expensive?
