It's also the NIS slave server for this floor (subnet). It's also where I put the squid proxy that all the Debian systems use for apt-get. Up until a few months ago, when our legacy Perforce server died, it was also where I did all the development for an in-house Tcl (mostly) application. Having absolutely no intention of attempting to replace Perforce with another Perforce, I simply took the existing checkout (Perforce calls it a "client") that I already had, copied it over to the Debian half of my dual-boot Debian/Windows system, and made a git repository out of it. (Compiling git for HP-UX 10.20 did not sound like a fun thing to do, with all that https and stuff that it seems to want.) This is the pace at which changes happen out here in the real world.
