Hi, I hope to do some work (no guarantee w.r.t. timing or results) on using GlusterFS to support a NFSv4.1 pNFS server cluster for FreeBSD. Since I'll be spending the winter "on the road", all I can take with me are laptops. Before you think the request is "extravagant", read what I don't need (after the "what I do need"). What I need: - laptop that runs FreeBSD/amd64 (don't care how fast or how many cores, it just has to be amd64, since that is the only arch that the GlusterFS port builds on) - keyboard/screen as console - working wired ethernet port - some way of installing FreeBSD (CD-reader, USB port that boots a thumb driver or ??) What I don't need: - good battery (I don't care so long as it works plugged into a power brick) - suspend/resume, X-windows, wifi, sound (couldn't care less if any of these work) If you happen to have one of these lying around with a bad battery or ??? and are willing to donate it to me for this work, just email. (I'm in Canada, so parcel post is probably the way you could get it to me.) Thanks, rick
