Hello everybody,

I am interested if somebody can help with URL or advise on subject above - 
Cobalt-like and/or VA Linux-like hardware with LM.

I am considering possibility to start solution-like business, and concentrate 
in the beginning on selling server appliances / pre-configured servers to 
businesses.
I remember quite well discussion here, on Cooker, about "how nice it will be 
to have Mandrake PC".  It's not exactly that, but step in that direction, for 
sure.  :-))  
If I succeed with servers, PCs/thin clients will probably follow. :-)))
Ohh, yes, I forgot to tell: LM will be default pre-installed OS...
/no extras, minimal install.../

I would be very grateful if somebody can advise what exact components VA 
Linux and Cobalt use (motherboard/chipset, memory, HDD make/model, cases, HDD 
controllers); May be somebody knows who is assembling units for them ?
I am free in supplier choice, but it's better do not re-invent the wheel, 
IMHO.
/at a moment I can't find around me suppliers of 2U cases. May be somebody 
can recommend it?/
If somebody knows what patches VA Linux /Cobalt have against standard 
kernel/other key packages - well, this can be also very important and nice to 
know...
/I know Chmouel was trying to find similar info on kernel some time ago... 
But there was no information on VA Linux site/
 
If somebody thinks that there is something wrong with Cobalt/VA Linux devices 
(or there are better examples of Linux-based devices which can be sold to 
businesses) - it'll be interesting to hear as well.
Any other suggestions  are welcome!
Please feel free to discuss it on list, or write to me directly.  

Looking forward to hear you soon!

With best regards,


Vadim Plessky
