The "12 core" webserver
Forgot running a webserver on your computer, phone or pda. We have reached the epitome of low-fi webservers – SpudServer: a “12 core” potato webserver. (Brings new meaning to the webserver farm!)
Frederic White built a stripped down webserver powered by potatoes. He has written a full account of his experiment on his site. The server was capable of a whopping 0.2 requests per second!
Only a couple of drawbacks, potatoe power lasts about 14 days and then there’s what to do with all the rotting potatoes.
Just think Trade Me could place their server farm with 20,000 pototoes. No more sys-admin, just hire some farmers. That keep the costs down!

Este servidor es una patata… ¡pero de verdad!…
Lo han denominado como el "12 core" webserver porque está alimentado con 12 patatas nada más y nada menos…
