good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
card--no game)?
\_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
most machines were custom built.

Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
Is this expected to work?
\_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address. The IPv6 addresses you see
in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

cool toys. Instead of buying a beefy server (like say, a massive server
with 20 386DX processors), buy a few cheap machines (like the ones
mentioned below) that have good disks and work on failover / load
balancing. A netscaler or other piece of hardware is complete overkill,
but maybe hacking an OpenBSD box could do the trick. The idea is that

that is currently acting as my home firewall. Has anyone used a
Soekris system for this purpose? If so, how well does it work? Also,
if there are any alternatives (similar power/form factor), I would
appreciate links to those as well. tia.
\_ John got me to use a WRAP box similar to Soekris. I use this one:
