Some SS10/20 as Web- or Print-Servers...
I would not use a SS5/10/20 as workstation which mean, I am always
less expensive as with a new Computer where the smalles one is a
2800MHz Machine
And then, there is definitivly a problem to get 32Bit Machines in
Strasbourg. All Computer-Stores aelling only those 64Bit CPU's.
Hell, my new Devel-Station (Dual-Opteron, 32 GByte of memory and 8
SCSI-Drives) is consuming nearly 600 Watt... (the machine has two
600Watt redunant Power-Supplys)
And, since it need over 30 seconds to wake up from the SLEEP mode,
I can not save any energy.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
