[Noisebridge-discuss] New greeting public internet kiosk terminal thing, Ass

[Rubin Abdi]

The G3 that we were using for our little greeting pub internet thing is 
old, slow, a little loud and also a power monger. This machine is the 
first one you see sitting on the desk in front of our entryway.

Some of us wanted to re-purpose that machine to do some work with the 
crazy photo printer that Miloh brought on, and I've been wanting to 
replace it with something smaller and a little faster (and a little more 
x86) for a while. So that's what I did.

The new machine is a mini-itx board with a small hd. The case was 
trashed so it's covered with cardboard for the moment. It's running 
Debian Lenny.

I've named the machine Ass, as it's another name for donkey and it was a 
pain in the ass testing hardware from the pile of computer crap and 
failing at installing Debian through a netboot of the live Debian 
desktop we have on the network.

All jukebox functions still work as normal. SSH might not be working 
yet, Don't remember if I actually got it setup or not.

Anyhow, enjoy.
