Thanks for the insight, Keith! These prices look reasonable for rented servers. Question is rather 1) are the servers in X.org's possession or rented 2) why we had this many servers at all 3) why are 3U servers needed (drives, or are they just in the possession of Xorg - in that case buing some new cheaper to host hardware might be interesting) Going forward it's probably a good thing that we have enough server power, and I assume it's just the good ol' "nobody has any time left to work on that" issue. :-/ Matthias, being a perfect example of the later -- Matthias Hopf <mh...@suse.de> __ __ __ Maxfeldstr. 5 / 90409 Nuernberg (_ | | (_ |__ m...@mshopf.de Phone +49-911-74053-715 __) |_| __) |__ R & D www.mshopf.de _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
