But only $500 per Linux image.

It *is* a mainframe type deal afterall.  You arent buying little
compaq machines. :)

True enough.  But I can see the spin on it now:

"Microsoft's Windows 2K is far cheaper in price from the
outrageously overpriced Linux system offered by IBM."

(Lying by omission, in other words.  :-) )

1. HALstation (64-bit processor running 64-bit Solaris) as webserver

 Hi. We are considering the use of a HALstation 300 as a web server. The
machine has 256Mb RAM and a SPARC64 processor. This is a 64-bit
implementation of the SPARC-V9. It uses a 64-bit version of the Solaris
2.4 O.S. and runs existing Solaris applications without modification.  It
supposely has the best memory throughput of any single processor machine.
The machine was made to do number crunching but how will it benefit a web
and mail server? Maybe a 64-bit solution is overkill. I welcome your
comments.
Thanks
Francisco Aguirre
