YAYAYAYA!

Time to fire up the server rack and stick an A1200 in there.

The bottom 1U is my Amiga 1200 running NetBSD. I remember running Apache on AmigaDOS back in the day (1997? 1998?). It was the reason I moved away from GNU/Linux and tried NetBSD - paths and documentation for open source software like Apache and Samba were more consistent with AmigaDOS than with Red Hat.
