Well, looking at it just now there doesn't appear to be much going on, so
that wouldn't be too exciting.

That's actually a pretty accurate description of the AKLUG box to be
honest. With the biggest limitation being bandwidth, the load average
tends to remain pretty low.
The server this list is hosted on is a little busier:
asimov:~$ ps ax|wc -l
259
asimov:~$ uptime
3:43pm up 115 days, 5:10, 6 users, load average: 1.04, 1.05, 1.00
(it's running dnetc, so the load average may be misleading)
