psychosis.sanitarium.net:

This is a home built system running Gentoo Linux. This is the system that I use for my backups. It is also setup to play old games which is why it has Windows 98, Dos 6.22, and a Gravis soundcard. Finally, I keep it setup so that it can be used to quickly replace either of my workstations if they fail.
