Killer[MOB]'s DC dictionary:

"Boxen" means computer(s)
"Farm" is when you have a lot of boxen.
"Garden" is when you have more than a few boxen.
"Headless" is running a boxen without a monitor.
"Bounce" is when you have to reboot your boxen.
"D" is also boxen or to add more boxen.
"FBNF" is a Fly By Night Folder, here today, gone tomorrow.
"Naked" is running a system without a case.
"NSZ" is the No Scroll Zone. You'll know it if you ever get there.
"PPW" is short for Points Per Week.
"PPD" is short for Points Per Day.
"WU" is a work unit. WUs are worth points.
"SWMBO" is She Who Must Be Obeyed.
"Mojo": Alcoholic beverage with magical OC enhancing capability. See Relic for more information.
"PizzaBoxen": Preferred mode of clothing naked boxen utilizing Pizza Boxes in the Relic [H]ousehold. (old method, replaced by PherretBoxen)
"PherretBoxen": Revised Preferred mode of clothing naked boxen utilizing any spare electronic appliance/AVGear ( i.e. VCR) in the Relic [H]ousehold, usually created by the [H]ardBard's Spawn.

Older terms not used much any more:
"Hobbit" is the original term used for a computer put together to run folding from spare parts.
"Gnobbit" is the same as Hobbit, but was for running Genome.

PM me any others and I will add them so we don't clutter up this FAQ thread.

Yaa I get it. The term "boxen" sounds like a bunch of geeks trying to sound cool to other geeks. Or it could sound like a large mammal used to pull heavy wagons.... :D

...I have to stop posting at 4 in the morning....... :confused:

So does my eight boxen quality as a boxen farm? Or do I just have a garden?

Laughs. A new folder had this in his sig by sheer coincidence:

you did see a garden reference in there I jus took it our. It was a quote from a customer when I worked at home depot.


this was the quote:
"Are the garden tools in the garden section?"

That quote in so far as Folding@Home goes; would beg the question:

Are the garden tools "in" the garden section? Really?

:D
 
it doesn't mention it in the manual. i'd guess it could, but if it doesn't all you would need is a "floopy" (that's that the manual calls it:p... the rest of us call it a floppy) to netboot it (you put a thing on the floppy that tells it to boot from the network... it's what me and unhappy_mage are doing on our older cheapo-cheapo boards that only do novell netbooting)

so if the board doesn't support it, it will cost another $10 or so if you don't have a floppy drive lying around somewhere.
