It's 486DX 50 MHz, 16 MB RAM in oldest (short) SIMMs and a motherboard with
EISA slots. It used to have MDA graphics card and a special monitor,
but some time ago I've switched to a cheapo Trident 512K SVGA, because
of a lack of space for additional monitor in the rack (yes, the case
is rack-mounted).
It's running Debian slink, and currently is only busy with distributed.net
client, samba and ftp server, but in the past also acted as a printer
and mailing lists server.
