Wow! It's almost here. At $139.00, they are a great buy. If they would just
drop a bit lower... say come in nearer $100.00 they'd be perfect, great
buy.
Imagine... buy 10 of these, load OpenMOSIX on them and have a 10 node
cluster for the cots of 1 vista compatible desktop computer... Hmmm... a
mysql cluster... it's awesome.
Hahaha, what a hoot...
You could NEVER do this with windows loaded... the price would be $100.00
higher and they'd run like slugs...
Linux, on this entry level hardware, is heavenly.
Cheers and THANK YOU for a wonderful, eye opening post.
