Yes, Google is my friend. There's even a Debian package, I see. I, too, would be very interested is performance numbers from state-of-the-art hardware. There could be virtualization uses at some point. My shop is a heavy MS shop and trying to retire their Multiprise 3000. It would be nice to pilot the migration of some Windows servers onto our lightly loaded VM/ESA system. -- May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
