I finally built a server last weekend to meet my development needs. i7-2600k (3.4 GHz), 16 GB RAM, 750 GB disk, Fedora 16 x86_64. Enough machine to handle the big JVMs necessary to host multi-threaded, multi-processor applications written in scala and clojure. My little laptops with 3 GB RAM kept choking. Eclipse was too slow to be useful. It's distressing to lose your train of thought while waiting for the machine to echo your last keystroke.

That explains many an FR post, though...
