The changes are reflected in the lab spreadsheet, to which you all have access. If you don't have access for whatever reason, just let me know, and I will give you access.<br><br></div>Essentially, we installed Lubuntu 14.04 on two new machines today and used them to replace the machines that were in positions 5 and 24, because those machines only had 500 MB of RAM and were very slow as a result. <br><br></div>Abigail thought that machines 19 and 20 were slow, but I am going to have to speak with her about that again, because those machines are actually 2 of the faster machines in the lab. The spreadsheet shows that they have 3 GB and 2 GB of RAM, respectively, and I tested both machines, and found them to be fast. I was not able to reproduce the problem that Abigail was seeing, and so I left those machines in place. <br><br></div>Position 24 now has 2 machines in place. One of them is merely a pedestal, namely, the old pizza box style machine that was there, but it is unplugged and just sitting there. Beside it is one of the Partimus machines donate by J. David Eisenberg, which is working and has 1 GB of RAM.<br><br></div>Abigail now has 2 machines installed and ready to serve as back up machines if other of her machines go down. Those are the two machines sitting on the counter behind her desk, and those machines have been labelled accordingly. Abigail, if one of your production machines goes down, all you have to do is unplug the bad machine and plug in the good machine and you are ready to go.<br><br></div><div>The machine that was formerly sitting in position 5 is now sitting unplugged behind Abigail's desk. It could either be end-of-lifed or donated, or kept as an emergency back up machine.<br><br></div><div>There is now only 1 more machine that is running 500 MB of RAM, and it is in position 3. I ran out of time to test it today, but next time I come, I can test it and replace it, or Abigail could replace it with one of the machines behind her desk. Those machines both have 1 GB of RAM, and both are fully installed and tested and ready to go.</div><span><font color="#888888"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br>-- <br><div>Christian Einfeldt</div>
