The box under the desk. Put together in February 1996 from Fry's parts. A door resting across two filing cabinets by the living room window, with parma sitting on the carpet underneath.
The door desk, parma underneath on the left, and the terminal.
| CPU: | Intel Pentium 100 MHz |
| RAM: | 16 MB (72-pin SIMMs) |
| Disk: | 1.2 GB EIDE |
| OS: | Slackware Linux (kernel 2.0.0) |
| Video: | S3 Trio64, 17" monitor (green on black xterm) |
| Modem: | USRobotics Sportster 33.6 external |
| Case: | Beige mini-tower with a key lock that locks nothing |
| Heater: | Bug (gray, domestic shorthair, monitor-mounted) |
Rules for parma:
- Run lilo after you build a kernel. Not ten minutes after. Right then.
- Don't run as root unless you are changing something that breaks without it.
- The key lock on the front stays unlocked because there is nothing to lock.
- The modem lights tell the truth. If CD is dark, you are not connected, no matter what the chat script thought happened.
