@matigo It did seem that way during that era. Things moved so danged quickly until Intel released the Core Duo. AMD sort of fell by the wayside after that.

So, on the drive home, I look in my rear view mirror. State Patrol car closing fast. I look at the speedometer so I know the answer to, "Do you know how fast you were going?"
90 mph. On Highway 11. A 55mph zone. Oops.
When the road had a shoulder again, I was resigned to visiting it. We got to the shoulder. No lights but riding right on my bumper. I figure he's going pull me over at the right of way where railroad workers park and do a whole lot of nothing. Nope. Just keeps riding my bumper. No lights.
We get all the way to Calhoun.
I figure that he's going to pull me over at the lot across from the paper mill. Nope. He turns on his left blinker, zooms past me and into the Hardees drive thru.
I guess the hamburger and fries were more important than the massive fine. I know for a fact that I am enjoying it more than he is.
@streakmachine I really Rube Goldberged that box. At an appointed time, it would pull code from a no longer existing svn repo, build and package it, toggle the next partition in grub then reboot into the next distro. Process repeated until all four distros had their run. You could ftp or svn into the box and grab packages as needed.
Wow. An Athlon XP that was about as fast as you could get without going Xeon fifteen years ago is…not as fast as I remembered.
This build cycle will be going on until well after I am home and in bed.
In the days before on demand VMs, this machine, via Cron and some oddball init levels, would reboot itself into four different distros and perform nightly builds. I just turned it on for the first time in twelve years to see what would happen
@matigo I'm putting it off until this weekend. I'd like some normalcy for the rest of the week.
@matigo mdadm still tries to copy the bad sectors. Game over. I just slapped two new drives in and started a new installation. I'll plop the old drive back in when it is done so the services are up. Early tomorrow morning, I will suck the data off and import it into the new raid volume.
This is going to be the tedious method I was trying to avoid.
