Utopia

This is the first computer that was all mine... it started off as just a 15GB hard disk with an install of Red Hat Linux release 6.1 (Cartman) on January 7 2000 04:28 GST.

The OS has never been re-installed since,(inspite of changing filesystems and a near fatal rm -rf /etc) but most of the packages have been manually upgraded over the years and is currently something of a cross between RH8 and RH9... with loads of additional stuff I've installed over the years... I still use it for browsing/email etc though it's currently headless.

Here is the current state of the machine...
