Going Gigahertz

by |Published

Tonight, cooleysekula.net got an upgrade. I switched from a six-year-old, 333MHz second-hand PC to a 3-year-old 1GHz second-hand PC. Every now and then, when I replace a desktop machine in the house or when a family member tosses out a computer, I harvest it for running our webserver. Of course, it’s still running linux. Sweet, sweet linux.

I figure that, at the very least, you’ll notice how much faster this blog loads!
