If all goes well, Wikipedia will be able to use 3 add'l machines tomorrow.

1. Geoffrin is fixed, and Jason is stress testing it today. We got a new mobo from Penguin, no charge.

2. 'lb1' is an old bomis server -- it's a single Pentium 4 / IDE machine. Possibly not much help, but it has a gig of ram and can do some reasonable webserving. Possibly we should set this up as a squid, to test the squid idea now, so we'll be ready to go in 2-3 weeks when I setup the new cluster?

3. 'other other new machine' -- this is the one I loaned Wikipedia last time Jason went to SD, the one that fell off the net 30 minutes after Brion started trying to copy stuff to it. Jason things that the problem was overheating and can be solved with a reapplication of thermal paste. Obviously, I don't consider this to be a reliable machine, but it'll be there for us if we need it.
