Ahm, okay, so how is this different than a Cobalt then?
A Cobalt can do all of this, and being a web-appliance is it's main
function. It *can* do NFS/CIFS if you want it to, but if you have
heavy duty NFS requirements, my personal opinion is: Don't use Linux!
It's NFS performance as compared to Sun and True64 just plain stinks.
(actually, I've heard that True64 even blows Sun's NFS performance
out the door :)
Linux is very good at doing a lot of things. It can do NFS, just not
that well.
So, other than these systems being better at NFS/CIFS, are they
essentially just like the Cobalt, just with a BSD core over Linux?
