[sdw2003] why warranty older servers? WAS:servers from defunct ISP

[James Eitzen]

Its always a good idea to have a server that is in production under
warranty, thats basicly it. It is also our standard operating procedure and
would highly recomend that it be anyones.

This way you are not stuck in limbo if your hardware fails. Having spares is
good, but spares that are used can fail too.
