My understanding (from Rachel at the time) was they were running some very nice racked Netras; the only hassle was the Netras don't have removable media (Shock!) and have to be jumpstarted (Horror!). How hard is that? What on earth is the article going on about?
Maybe the real truth is this: <tall tale> Maybe the Netras hadn't been paid for and had to be returned to wherever they came from and (Oh No!) now we have no servers. Ahh - there's all the beige boxen in the corner... lets put them in before the customers complain. Slowness? Response time? Just bame the backbone carrier and no-one will know any better. </tall tale> Regards, Jill. -- Jill Rowling, Snr Des. Eng. & Unix System Administrator Eng.
