Weird architecture thread

[akiwiguy]

Anyone got machines with something that isn't an x86 processor?

That was on my Sun Netra 120. It's a nice machine. I like SPARC.

Got a PowerPC powered XServe in my basement, it isn't in production though.. I've been thinking of trying to bring it into use again, maybe as a terminal server or something less critical.

I have three Pogoplugs on my desk that have all been reloaded with Arch Linux and are handling miscellaneous tasks on my home network, including handling DNS and DHCP.

Plug #1 (P21) is an ARM v6L (Oxsemi NAS).

Plugs #2 and #3 (E02) are ARM v5Ls (Marvell SheevaPlug).

I've also got a couple of ARM based NAS boxes. I'll post uname -a when I get home.

Do phones count?

There's also my router, I guess, which runs Tomato.

If I can, I'll try to recycle a Sun SPARC computer that seems unused.

How about weird network architecture?

Nice

I work on a complicated but non-weird architecture, I guess. VLANs and routing tables everywhere.
