Exactly. Is not directly exposed to the internet. Two of us at work  
use it as an SVN server and occasionally test HTML and PHP there with  
Apache before putting the code somewhere else.

Also have avr-gcc installed. That and other installed ports are  
mostly current. Does not have X at the moment but has in the past.  
Takes 3 or 4 days for this 450 MHz PII to build X.

Has a whopping 192 MB of ECC RAM.

As for an SVN server, I'm a bit concerned about the HDs. One is a  
slow 6GB WD clunker. Dell Optiplex original equipment came-with- 
machine, and the other is one of the first IBM 15G ultra-100 drives.  
Both drives have been running essentially continuous for 8 years. I  
really ought to pay more attention to backups.
