Stanley was currently running on an old version of the.earth.li. It was donated in Summer 2007, when the.earth.li was upgraded. It's a 1GHz PIII, with 2GB RAM, 4 18GB SCSI and 1 250GB IDE drives.

It was currently hosted by CI-Net (or "Community Internet", as they were then) in their office in Kidlington. It provided primary DNS for CompSoc and provided us with a base outside the limitations of the Oxford academic network, and also ran OxLUG's mailing lists.

Unfortunately, in late November 2010, CI-Net moved offices, and stanley could not go with them. As there were very few sysadmins remaining, the society opted to replace both it and Salami with a single VM, Ice, rather than trying to find new hosting.

The original stanley

Stanley was donated to Compsoc by the Department of Astrophysics in Hilary Term 2005. It's a dual 1 GHz PIII with 1GB of RAM and 2x18GB SCA disks. It was originally a cluster node as part of the 64-node Linux beowulf cluster 'glamdring' used for Theoretical Astrophysics simulations.

It was replaced in Trinity Term 2007 by old urchin.earth.li hardware, which was kindly loaned to CompSoc. Old-urchin was a 700 MHz PIII with 1GB RAM and 2 120GB IDE drives.
