This box, although not very current is still a screamer. One of the things that has impressed me tremendously about Linux is how much more I can get out of my hardware than with certain (ahem!) OSes. This box was a slug when I tried to install the latest and greatest "Professional" version of another OS. The boot took about 15 minutes and there was little I could do to improve it's performance. But running under RH9, this thing boots in about 2 minutes (a few HD controller cards that load BIOS at the beginning and the NVIDIA drivers slow down the launching of X Window System). It also does A LOT. Here's the rundown of what it does at home (it's a headless box BTW):

1. Internal DNS
2. DHCP
3. SAMBA
4. NFS
5. GNOME Desktop Application Server (via VNC and ESD for remote sound on the "thin clients")
6. OpenOffice 2.0 Beta
7. Firefox 1.6
8. Thunderbird 1.6
9. All the usual GNOME type things (cdrecording, ripping music, file management, etc...)
10. Apache with PHP, SSL and WebDAV for my "calendar server" (Sunbird client)
11. Nightly backups from /mnt/data to /mnt/backup (500 Gigs capacity on each)
12. Asterisk PBX (for private lines via OpenVPN between friends and family)
13. All the usual DEVEL tools
14. Multimedia playback with XMMS, Xine and MPlayer
15. Music streaming to work over OpenVPN with icecast and ices
16. P2P for grabbing ISOs of various Linux distros or legit free media downloads
17. And more...

Interestingly enough it seems that I can keep throwing stuff at this box and it balances resources nicely. I've never been in a state where the system locks up and becomes unusable unless something is wrong (had a memory leak with the transparent feature of GNOME term. Feh. I prefer xterm myself) I love this box. (Tyan MOBO from 1997)

sulogin

SULOGIN(8)						       System Administration							SULOGIN(8)

NAME

       sulogin - Single-user login

SYNOPSIS

       sulogin [options] [tty]

DESCRIPTION

       sulogin is invoked by init when the system goes into single user mode.

       The user is prompted:

	    Give root password for system maintenance
	    (or type Control-D for normal startup):

       sulogin	will  be  connected  to  the  current terminal, or to the optional tty device that can be specified on the command line (typically
       /dev/console).

       After the user exits the single-user shell or presses control-D at the prompt, the system will continue to boot.

OPTIONS

       -e, --force
	      If the default method of obtaining the root password via getpwnam(3)  from  the  system  fails,  manually  examine  /etc/passwd  and
	      /etc/shadow to get the password.	If they are damaged or nonexistent, sulogin will start a root shell without asking for a password.

	      Only use the -e option if you are sure the console is physically protected against unauthorized access.

       -p, --login-shell
	      Specifying this option causes sulogin to start the shell process as a login shell.

       -t, --timeout seconds
	      Specify the maximum amount of time to wait for user input.  By default, sulogin will wait forever.

       -h, --help
	      Print a help message.

       -V, --version
	      Output version.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       sulogin looks for the environment variable SUSHELL or sushell to determine what shell to start.	If the environment variable is not set, it
       will try to execute root's shell from /etc/passwd.  If that fails it will fall back to /bin/sh.

AUTHOR

       sulogin was written by Miquel van Smoorenburg for sysvinit and later ported to util-linux by Dave Reisner and Karel Zak.

AVAILABILITY

       The sulogin command is part of the util-linux package and is available  from  Linux  Kernel  Archive  <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils
       /util-linux/>.
