well, (1) is definitely true since that machine was resurrected out of
parts and wasn't supposed to become a server. but now it's our main
cvs repository and mail server. yes, i know it's fscked, but it works.
(2) well, obsolete whatever. point: it works. i don't really care
about the 1.7 load nor do my users, but i got this spare baby lying
around and i figure i might just as well. (3) it's not really mission
critical. we aren't important people at all. so as i said: if on
saturday it screws up or someone walks in with a case of beer, the
system will be down until monday and noone will really care - *but* i
am not shooting for that.
