This is one of the very first incarnation of what is called
Pasha Zusmanovich's homepage.
Beginning of 1998. By the way, it helped me to get my next job (the first Unix one) at that time.
Needless to say, all appeals, pleas, statements, addresses, links, etc., are no longer actual. |

Sun-1 --- Request for help! Any help in bringing to working conditions my Sun-1 workstation (information, documentation, peripheral devices), would be greatly appreciated. Details here. |
Now, more usual stuff. I have 4 PCs: two 386SX 25Mhz 4MB RAM Linux 2.x,
one 486DX 100Mhz 32MB RAM Windows 95, one Pentium 200 Mhz 64MB RAM Windows NT Server 4.0.
Strictly speaking, mine are only 3 of them, a Win95 machine belongs to
my son. NT used for my daily tasks,
one of Linux boxes serves as gateway
to Internet (with IP masquerading and Apache as proxy server), and the other
one has no strictly defined role (thought to use it to run X stuff with
X servers on windoze, but seems X is too heavy for such configuration; maybe
will run on it some gameservers; by the way, all internet-related stuff -
mail server, proxy server, etc., runs very well). All this is connected via
thin Ethernet. Besides that, I have a bunch of different parts from which from
time to time I assemble something (or reassemble existing machines).
The whole process is similar to playing Lego.
So far it happened strictly PC-oriented, but I hope to fix that in the future.
Particularly, my plans include: ISDN (instead of current modem connection),
acquiring of some SPARC, Macintosh (maybe also NeXT?), and something
JavaOS/NC-like. Concerning PCs, I think to put together a Dos-based machine
(with Geos and/or DesqView and/or nice Internet stuff like Arachne, and
maybe some Java stuff) demonstrating how it is possible to have a very nice
Dos Internet client, and take a look at QNX which seems very inetersting.
And, of course, continue to collect all old stuff which I am able to laid hand on.
Oh, by the way,
| if you plan to throw away something computer-related (which will fit in my 3-room apartment) and live in Israel, I would be grateful if you first let me know. Maybe I will be happy to pick it up. |

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce
the complete work of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know
this is not true.
