The only real drawback is that they come with Mandrake, but, then even if they came with Debian I'd format and reinstall to be paranoid.)
Re: motherboard recommendations
Actually, I figured you wanted it in a 1u, since you mentioned the integrated video. These will fit. That's what Akamai has done. They sacrifice the dual processor ability, use a slot1 riser card for each cpu slot and stick the terminator in one, cpu in other, and use some sort of small ducted-fan style heatsink. Very compact, rather impressive imho. -Kevin On Sat, Aug 26, 2000 at 11:53:55AM -0400, Allen Ahoffman wrote: > thanks we had used l440gx+'s also. > just cant get them in 1u cases. > there is a supermicro dl3 board that looks interesting. > > I like the Intel Lancewood.

Very fast, great features, and extremely reliable.

Re: motherboard recommendations
I like the Intel Lancewood. It's got a silly Phoenix bios, but other than that, It's excellent. It's got a 440GX+, integrated lan/video, two slot 1 cpu slots supporting up to 800MHz CuMines. It's also got an Adaptec 7890 onboard u2w/lvd controller. Normally, I don't like Intel, but this one is pretty nice at ~$550us. In fact, Akamai uses it in their servers we have here in our blue room. It's a big board too, one corner is cut out for some cramped cases. This is the only board I know of that has integrated video (cirrus logic). If you're looking for something a little more conservative, I'm not much help.
