soon maybe not so unofficial. if they want a proper legal body to deal with (and get a reciept for their donation) it will soon be possible. > > 2. What we want - a larger UW SCSI RAID array instead of the 70 GB one we > have now. my guess is that Sun in particualr would prefer us to advertise their new Sun Linux machines, and not just donate an external RAID. also, if there is a way to see if we HAVE an UW connector on the current box, it would be very helpful. > 3. What Sun will get as a result - Addition of its logo to our Sponsors > box, and we will set up a courses applet to register Linux related > courses given in Israel by Sun and other vendors. as long as we can upgrade the box to Debian �nd not to Sun Linux, I'll be happy :) > 4. How much it would cost - someone will have to ask Ligad (Ira?). are you saying they should only sponsor the purchase instead of supplying their own RAID? umm... I'll be happier asking IBM about a server+RAID combo. they have a stronger Linux hype going than Sun's problematic relation with Linux, and they have the hardware we need, I believe. -- Real-life action hero Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ This post is encrypted twice with ROT-13.
