 archimedes rock music reviews
Pete played the sort of driving, funky bass that I was looking for at the time to pretty much carry on where the jams as various festivals in previous years had left off.
Slartibartfast proper called it a day sometime around mid 1987 (although somewhere around this time there was a Slartibartfast / Osiris hybrid - The Urban Spacemen, a name that would be reused in 2002) and another interlude followed in which various line ups were tested in an attempt to move in a much jazzier direction.
Osiris followed on from Slartibartfast by again being an instrumental band but somewhere along the space-rock got mostly lost leaving the band as pretty much straight jazz-rock.

Slartibartfast has served its purpose well; it has fed out web pages, dns info, and shell accounts quite well for over 3 years.
As others needed to be able to change the system and server configuration on the original Slartibartfast from time to time (to add new dns info, virtual web sites, email domains, etc.), I had been giving out sudo access for a while to those that needed it.
While the original system had problems, they were willing to work with me to trade the old box back in for the Dual Pentium that has run flawlessly for over a year.
