Hi Oliver, We are just switching all our data servers from SCO UNIX to RED HAT LINUX. We have found that Linux is much faster and requires much less hardware spec to do the same job. So our development data servers are now just standard INTEL or AMD PC's costing about �400 (GBP).
We have not properly tried running as web servers or CF servers so I can not comment on that.....actually I'm still going to! I guess the same Linux efficiency of use of hardware will apply. Prove this to yourself by loading Linux on some old PC discarded in a corner (if you have one) and be amazed at how fast it runs! I can't imagine hiring would be cost effective.

It doesn't need to be a huge load (just for development) so a mini-server would be fine. Any ideas would be great.
