Personally I'd stay *far* away from the XServs until Apple learns to build some real server harware. The current XServs have internal parts more appropriate to a Dell desktop (promise controller, low-speed commodity IDE drives), than a server. If Apple has prices these IU desktop machines similar to Sun, then I sense doom ahead for the Apple Server Division. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
