I made a blog post about an old IBM server!

Holy crap, I have this exact same server that I got for free and I have been trying to get rid of it

I’m sure you’ll find some weird nerd like me to get it off your hands

I’m pretty young, so I never used floppy before

How do you kids keep getting on my lawn.

Get a PIX firewall to keep us out!

holy crap does that bring back memories

i would prolly try and get some kind of linux variant installed for containerized nonsense

Krafting OP , 2 days ago

I did get Debian 12 installed on this thing, hard drive configuration was awful (you need a CD for that!!)

ha, yeah.. always keep a burner just in case. i installed a lot of these things. i remember having dozens of those white/blue ibm server disks

pretty damn reliable once up and running. i only ever had wear and tear failures.. fans/drives

Krafting OP , 2 days ago

I’m glad I still have a CD-DVD burner on my laptop for this ahah!

I still can’t figure out if there is a web interface for “managing” this thing, I know IPMI work, but I’m starting to test things around those ASM ports in the back… Do you have any insight on that by any chance ?
