mussel

1. Any of several marine bivalve mollusks, especially the edible members of the family Mytilidae and in particular Mytilus edulis, a blue-black species raised commercially in Europe. Mussels are often found attached to rocky surfaces or the sides of ships.

How and when machine obtained:

• Mussel was bought in 1999 with money saved from Coke sales, and with member donations.

History prior to arrival at UCC:

• There was none, as it was born at UCC.

UCC history of machine:

• Mussel had the dual-Celeron hack applied - UCCans with power drills!
• Mussel was retired as a user box in mid-2000 and moved into the main clubroom, and bought a NVidia TNT2 and sound card, and the CDRW was mounted in it.
• At the beginning of 2001, mussel was upgraded to a dual 750MHz Pentium III with 256 MB of RAM, and one the celerons was used in the console box cod (retired), both now currently unused.
• Mussel was moved back into the machine room and became the main user box for the X-Terms.
• Mussel's /space gave way, mid 2002. It's tasks being taken up by the new fileserver meito (retired).

Current machine tasks:

• It is now a general purpose user machine again.

Current software configuration:

• Debian GNU/Linux
• Linux 2.6

Current hardware configuration:

• Two Pentium III 750MHz processors
• 630MB RAM
• rtl8139 Network Card (?)
