Intel NUC7i5BNH (Diamond)

Formerly Diamond was on a CompuLab Intense PC, purchased 2013-04-13, 5 years ago as this is written. But it went into a death spiral.

I got an Intel NUC5i5RYH as a home theater machine and was pleased with it; therefore (see the Selection section) I have picked the NUC7i5BNH to become the new Diamond. It arrived on 2017-12-27. A new 500Mb rotating disc was installed, and 8Gb RAM. Linux was not actually installed on the NUC; the entire disc was copied lock stock and barrel, including the virtual machine Baobei that is hosted on Diamond.

Diamond has several roles:

• Alice's desktop machine.
• Host for Baobei (virtual), which runs Windows 10.
• Distro storage and configuration master site.
• Backup server; other hosts copy to Diamond, and it copies to storage media.
• Slave directory server (domain controller).
• Compute server.

• Selection
• Subsystem Tests, hardware and software
• Setup Activities
