Floorpi has several computers for hall use. They're not great - as you know, you go to war with the machines you have. They're not the machines you might want or wish to have at a later time.
Simpi
Simpi is the Linux-Athena workstation in kitchen lounge. It does everything a cluster machine can (and accepts remote logins from people on the list - ask meeg!), but much more slowly. Don't run Matlab projects, compile kernels, or fold proteins on Simpi - any vaguely memory-intensive application will send it into swap, and it might never come back. Simpi has so far resisted all attempts to have it replaced with a superior computer.
Don't unplug the Ethernet. Only bad boys unplug the Ethernet.
