A good idea came up in IRC today: Contact Apple for a donation of an Xserver. In return, SDCS would put the donated by apple logo all over the site. As was pointed out, that should make everyone happy: Linux zealots, because it is UNIX based and the PC people because it is commercial and shiny :)
SHINY! NEW! TOY!Actually, maybe we _should_ do that, if Josh is willing to donate the colo space for it.
Hell, there's enough money in the SDCS coffers right now to pay for 1U of colo rack space for quite a while (assuming minimal bandwidth).
And, a new server would also allow us to have a viable platform to start offering services to/for the SIGs that would otherwise have to secure them on their own. Like an EXCLUSIVE, HIGH-DEMAND @sdcs.org email address. Or mailing list hosting. Or web site hosting.
Sorry, sometimes I can be quite the do-zer. :) Gregory -- Gregory K. Ruiz-Ade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OpenPGP Key ID: EAF4844B keyserver: pgpkeys.mit.edu
