at Coraid, we have two cpu servers that run daemons
and provide machines for the folks who have to run
other systems (bsd, linux). we also have a terminal server
to get to consoles. since our SATA+RAID product runs
Plan 9 you could say we have a good many cpu servers.
however, we don't use the servers
as a fast place to run programs.

: In that sense, the 'cpu server' is outdated nomenclature.
Yep. In Plan B we don't have CPU servers, actually. (We made an
experiment but its result was not clear). We have "permanent terminals", though.
If you own a machine, you can arrange for remote omeros to browse/exec on it.
I wonder, how many 9fans are *actually* using CPU servers?
[do not count a CPU server that runs your fossil as such, it's a file server,
isn't it?]
