Donnie lost his system[1], which sucks for us in terms of continued X support, |
4 |
a critical part of many Gentoo installations. |

After talking with Kingtaco, he agreed that (if the trustees agree), we loan |
7 |
Donnie the old board/cpu from Nemo (the pre-AMD donation nemo). This board |
8 |
has sat unused mainly because there is a badly burnt transistor on the board, |
9 |
but nemo was working fine when we took it down. The burn is close to the |
10 |
SATA and USB chipsets, neither were being used by Nemo. I think this was the |
11 |
factor that allowed it to work as it did. With this in mind it has no |
12 |
intended future use in production by the AMD64 or releng teams. |

14 |
There would be no cost to get this to Donnie, as he lives here in Corvallis. |
15 |
He can swing by my office and pick it up as soon as the Trustees agree on |
16 |
this (if it is agreeable). |
