Sticky (son of Mickey) was put together at the start of Hilary Term
1998. Animal Hospital was a
highly
successful event, during which members were invited to bring along any
spare parts they had.
Sticky is the most powerful x86 based machine we have, although it has
recently been downgraded after hardware failure.
Current spec is as follows:
Sticky is happily firewalled behind fishy, and was our main user box. It
is now used for compiling x86 based binaries and runs MySQL, internal DNS
and our web server. It had to be
downgraded in February 2000 - despite surviving the failure of its primary
IDE channel, we gave up on it when the motherboard stopped booting.
Unfortunately we also lost an 8GB IDE hard disk with it.
