Some people are soooo stuck in thinking "it still works and so we are not going to fix it" attitude. When I see yet another E4000 ( not E4500 ) running Oracle for 70 people I just want to scream. Really. Running Solaris 8 of course. Its maddening when I _know_ they can get a X2100 with a pile of RAM and support and totally replace the box. The electricity savings alone will justify the increase in throughput. Drives me mad. Or at least more mad. > >> We could really use your help on some things.

I think we need to keep the whole topic in the companion-discuss list. Which is where I will go and look. -- Dennis Clarke _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
