Stress testing Fedora Happiness. I'd just like to pass on a note of thanks to the Fedora community. I am about to retire our old server. It runs most of the day with a load average of 6 to 12. This poor thing is having the crap beat out of it day in and day out. It was provisioned a few years ago and has taken on more and more tasks. While the response time had obviously dropped below acceptable limits, it does not falter, leak memory, or do mysterious things.
jeez, i sorta feel bad for the server. it's no longer useful? can't it act as a firewall or a web server? maybe a fileserver? throw it a bone. nobody wants to feel 'obsolete'.

Yeah, man, make it a firewall. Make it happy. Or donate it to someone you trust... I use lots of these types of boxes to run schools and orphanages and stuff. :-)
