Email terminals

JCN is responsible for managing the email terminals dotted around college. There are currently three such terminals:

  • apollo - in the Foyer of the library
  • aphrodite - in the Marshall Room
  • ares - in the Grad Room

Each of the terminals runs Linux. apollo runs a well-configured Debian system and is part of nem-net. aphrodite is a fairly trashed Debian system. Each of the machines is a PowerMac 7200/90 model, and comes with broken firmware, and slow everything. And broken network cards.

The systems basically run themselves; they do very little other than run a basic menu shell. This is arguably a waste of hardware. Then again, the hardware itself is arguably a waste of metal.

Those foolish enough to want to help administer the machines should contact jcn-a-admin@jesus.cam.ac.uk .
