I have sitting here beside me, unused, a dual P-III with half Gig of
RAM and a few dozen Gig of Fast/Wide SCSI-III in a 4U rackmount. I
can colo the box on a T1 for just over $150/month. The problem is
that I don't particularly have a use for that machine. What to do?

You might like to read a couple papers I've got stashed down at the
bottom of my page at kanga.nu:
"SMP scaling considered harmful"
and
"The Labs and Linux"
which expands on some of the base ideas. I'm not convinced of all
his assertions, but he makes a good argument.
