As a former herder of dedicated servers purchased for this sort of thing, you'd be surprised how difficult it is telling people they need to pay to upgrade it.

As a former herder of dedicated servers purchased for this sort of thing, you'd be surprised how difficult it is telling people they need to pay to upgrade it. We had a client with an old supermicro P3 running red hat 7 (not RHEL) until last year. Genuinely surprised it lasted as long as it did.
Edit: it was RH7, not RH5. Just checked. Still bad.
- BuildTheRobots 12y agoI used to work as a DCO in a relatively large DC. It was always slightly terrifying when you'd be asked to investigate a customers unresponsive dedic only to find out it's attempting to boot ubuntu 6 LTS. "Well I don't see why it's broken -it was working absolutely fine and we've not touched it in years!"
