Here is the obligatory "screenshot" of the autobuild system.
|
At the top of the rack there is a 1U dual rackmount which hosts the
www.netwinder.org and ftp.netwinder.org sites, respectively. Those
machines are known as kei and yuri, you can ask Mark Knox
or Eric LaForest why they have these names :)
The remaining machines form the autobuild system - these are the ones that
do all the compiling of RPMs. If you look closely you will notice that a
couple of units are not plugged in at the time of taking this photo.
I need to get another power bar! (Update 14/12/2002: power bar obtained, now
I need to take a new picture!)
Easily recognized are the eight desktop model 2100's, supported by two
dual-Rackmounts. The one at the very bottom is hard to see, although the
green LED's for ethernet and power clearly visible.
At the base there is a small UPS that powers kei, yuri and the switch.
Not visible in the photo are all the individual power supplies for each of
the NetWinders -- they are stacked up in behind of the UPS with quite a lot
of cables all tied together into little bundles.
