W00t !!!

a 4U, 4-way G5 IBM server with Linux for only $3500 ????????????


I can only wait for th IBM ThinkPad with a G5 and Linux for $899 that 
should appear really soon.  *That* will be überkwel. And very feasible, 
when a 4way is only $3500.

What is it going to be? 2.6 Kernel compilation in less than 3 seconds?


Salut,
