This "Xserve" thingy is that new-speak for an application server for
programs that use the X protcol (in ordinary X terminology such
programs are called X-window-CLIENTs, while the X-window-SERVER is
what runs at the computer that has the videocard and the keyboard)

Or is it a new hardware (that has been announced not too long ago and
cost a lot of money)? What makes this hardware different from a
ordinary GNU/Linux application server then?
