-====== Hardware ======
-Mara is a [[http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/Netra_T1_AC200/Netra_T1_AC200.html|Sun Netra T1 AC200]] donated by Charles Leahy (charles).  It's a 1U UltraSparc IIe box with 1GB of RAM and **one** 10K Seagate 73GB Cheetah (we are looking for another disk).  It is also one of the few machines in our rack which is installed with the correct rackmounting kit.
-====== OS ======
-It runs Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge) and not much else right now.
-SILO is a bit buggered.  It looks for silo.conf on sda2 but it should use the one on sda1.  Please contact pert if you know how force silo to be re-installed beyond using -f.  (It seems to be a problem with SILO on RAID1.)
-Right now the following file and parameters is set in the <code>boot-file</code> PROM option to make it autoboot:
-<code>1/boot/vmlinuz initrd=/boot/initrd.img root=/dev/md0
-</code>
-====== Storage ======
-As mentioned above, it currently has one 73GB disk but it is setup with RAID 1 in preperation for a second.
-====== Services ======
-Mara currently does not run any services but will probably become a web server when another disk has been found. It has rails installed. I vote we make 2.0.tardis point to mara :)
-====== Apache Installation Issues ======
-While attempting to get apache up and running as per the instructions [[web_service:admin|here]], I caught a snag as mara doesn't have tardis-packagetools installed from the tardis repository. However, after adding the tardis repository to /etc/apt/sources.list, the following appears:
-<code>
-Failed to fetch http://packages.tardis.ed.ac.uk/debian/dists/sarge/main/binary-sparc/Packages.gz  403 Forbidden [IP: 129.215.149.99 3128]</code>
-I'm guessing this means somebody needs to play with the firewall or the routing or something. It would be nice if somebody who knows what they're doing could handle this.
