About The dewindt.us NOC

The dewindt.us NOC servers are a heterogeneous mix of x86, x86_64, ARM, PowerPC, Sparc and Alpha servers running the folowing operating systems:

• x86_64: Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, RedHat, Solaris, OpenVMS and Windows
• x86: Debian, Slackware and Windows
• Sparc: Debian
• Alpha: VSI OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX (OSF/1)
• PowerPC: openSUSE, Debian
