Home:UNIX and Servers

These are the computers that operate my network infrastructure, as well as any Unix machines that aren't Sun. While my main focus is Sun machines (see my Sun page for more info), I do also focus on Unix as a whole as well.

IBM System x3250 - "Balthasar-2"
Year: 2006

My Mac Mini G4 (Melchior) runs OpenBSD and is responsible for routing, DHCP, and DNS for my network, and runs it quite well. It also hosts a basic intranet website, and, because it runs DHCP, it is also what directs network boot clients to Balthasar-2. Balthasar-2 runs Solaris 10, and hosts files necessary for PXE boot, and Sun Jumpstart, as well as the boot files necessary for booting OpenFirmware Macs over the network from the OpenFirmware prompt.
