    I recently discovered and joined an Italian pubnix based in Sicily,
    which is freaknet.orgi^[1]. At the current state, they offer legacy Red
    Hat Linux (bash, over ssh) and VAX/VMS (DCL, over telnet) free shell
    access. They also maintain a small vintage hardware computer museum and
    gallery and provide, as well as an Anatolia MUD^[2] server.

    What I found most interesting, however, is their gopherholei^[3], which
    I recommend you to check out, whenever you have time to spare.

    Oooh, a whole new community to explore! I added them to my list of
    communities on gopher black's "places" page.

    Neat, and not all in Italian, as I was half-expecting. Thanks for
    posting!

    Hosted on a Thinkpad T23 laptop from 2001, if the "Technical Notes"
    page is still current. Thinkpads have definately gone downhill
    since the IBM days - when I tried to use an old T61 in a home
    server sort of role it didn't last a week.

    Well, my IBM Thinkpad R51 is alive and well! It currently runs
    NetBSD/i386. I expanded the memory to 1Gb. I mainly use it for studying
    as the the resource restraints help me focus and not get distracted.
    I use surf an Netsurf as borwser, with javascript disabled: wikipedia
    medscape, pubmed and academic journal sites won't need it forcibly
    either way.
