Because it's been in operation since Nov. 1995. It used to do shell, mail,
ftp, client www and iinet.net.au www - it replaced classic, the old
do-everything-server, from memory.

In other words, the OS is ancient (RedHat 4.2 from memory?), is running an
old 2.0 kernel and has patch upon patch to keep the script kiddies at bay
and allow hardware upgrades to work.
