[olug] Newbie looking for server replacement

[Christopher R. White]

I have a Dell Poweredge 1850 for sale.  It is a 1u system that has dual
Xeon 64 bit CPUs 3.0 GHz I believe, 4 GB RAM (expandable to 12 GB) dual
power supplies and a pair of 146 GB Ultra320 10k rpm drives.  EBay lists it
in the $200 range.  Runs Centos currently.  Located in GI.
