I think what he's asking about is using an Xserve to host remote X terminals. I thought about that when they were first announced, but don't have the pocket for one, and I doubt I'd qualify for a loaner.

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?


In a nutshell, think Mac OS X in a 1U server. For more info, see http://www.apple.com/xserve/
