Yeah - I can certainly appreciate that...
I'm just *constantly* amazed at how cheap these things have become,
and when I think they are at the bottom; they go lower...
I mean $80 for a motherboard (ASUS) with _everything_ on it,
Intel chip set, SATA, ATA, Intel gigabit ethernet, with a case,
with a power-supply, and with 1G of 400DDR memory... it just blows
my mind.
So - if you need redundacy - well - buy - oh, I dunno, 20 of these;
and you're up to that $2K price. Then, of course, the problem
changes into personal which, I think is where the "win" actually
is... and is the real reason to do Linux on z/Series.
