Uh, yeah, I mean I guess they don't update their images very often.
They went out of business 15 years ago. Anyways, thought it was funny.

http://www.linux.com/base/ldp/howto/SPARC-HOWTO.html). At my workplace,
for our web-based application servers they've invested in a tricked-out
Sun Blade T6320 with 8 cores - 64 threads, 64 GB memory, 176 Gbps I/O
throughput, 10 GbE networking.
As for the virtualization capabilities - Hypervisors, Xen and Solaris
containers - kicks the snot out of VMware in terms of building a
virtual web farm. You can also mix & match with Linux, Solaris, Windoze
in the same chassis.
I'd like to help get this set up at work and then have the results
become part of a future presentation.

you're right - no projector would make for a sorry presentation indeed. i
think that doing this next month is much better overall.
there is a think-o in your october meeting announcement.
