Got my old Xeon back online for the first time in a bit. The power supply got knocked out by a storm so I had to buy a new one. It's at this point I learned I have a four-year old version of PopOS on this thing

@ernie what sort of old Xeon is it?

@samueldr Z420, mostly used it as a Hackintosh.

@ernie neat, got one now re-used as a NAS (by shoving a 5×3.5" cage in the 3×5.25" bays). "Rocking" an E5-1660 (v1), and way too much RAM at 64GiB.

Though, configurations vary wildly, what's the CPU like on your setup?

@samueldr E5-2667v2. I upgraded it.

I won the lottery with this one and had a later boot block.

@samueldr also have 64GB of RAM on this.

I have an NVMe drive in it I was using as a boot drive, you can work around the lack of NVMe support with Clover which is nice

@samueldr I moved most of my home server stuff to a mini PC but I liked having this around for projects so happy to have it back online
