I guess we'd all be concerned if there was a risk of our servers being EOL, like the old RAQ stuff. We have the huge advantage of a well supported standard architecture now. We've seen some EOLing happening in one way... BQ has turned to BO, but it's a benefit not a problem. Even the 32bit stuff will one day switch to 64bit as the talk suggests.
I personally think BO/BX is here to stay... simply because it runs on a a poor, aging little P3 to an all-singing, all-dancing mega server with gigablobs of memory and more cores than a orchard. ----- Original Message ----- From: "webmaster (Tim Gavigan)" <[email protected]> To: "BlueOnyx General Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2010 6:18 PM Subject: [BlueOnyx:05244] new hardware > All, > > I need to buy a server to replace my aging 550 and my newer BX box > (BX box is an old p3 with 512 meg of memory.
