Well last night I managed to pick up off ebay the machine that I have been wanting for years. 

It's a Digital Alphaserver 400, and it only cost me $AU66.00. So this little miachine is going to take pride of place in my office Once I clean off the harddrive a bit I will be able to set up some stuff on it.

The preformance doesn't compare to my laptop or my workstation but this is the cleanest unix I have ever used, and the advfs file system beats anything else out their. It is a pity that HP are in the process of discontinuing tru64, and would really love it is they could make the advfs and tools open source. This would just be the best and be really easy to build file systems that span multiple disks.

So I will be having fun tonight.
