A long time ago I had this computer called doorstop — doorstop.reshall.berkeley.edu. (Yes, that was supposed to read like “Bond — James Bond”, and yes I realize that probably didn’t come across.) It got that name since it was a 486 with a whopping 8MB of RAM. Don’t get me wrong, it was a right beast in its day (you should have *seen* DOOM fly), but this was right around the time everyone and his Pentium was discovering MP3 and the Windows 95 Plus pack. My system was starting to look slow by comparison, but then I went ahead and installed hamm on it and it started to kick ass. After leaving the reshalls, I went on to register doorstop.net and the name stuck (though no longer served by the original doorstop, which has since been relegated to actual doorstop duty).
Before retiring, doorstop was host to a few different RedHat distributions and even some FreeBSD for a little while, but I ended up coming back full circle to Debian.
