-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Timothy, I think that you should heavily promote the TALOS on the coreboot list and also ask to have it promoted on the vendors page on coreboot.org. The kind of people that want the hardware you sell are here in the coreboot community in large numb

Timothy, Ubuntu Server is officially supporting Power8 ( https://www.ubuntu.com/ download/server/power8 ). Do you have insight if they will support Power9? Can we get a complete overview of all the I/O ports with Make and Model#. I see what looks like 4 SATA ports (in 2 different colors) on the boa

So a case of "Dig before you call"? Anyways I'm re-sending my questions since it appears that you didn't receive them yesterday... Timothy, Ubuntu Server is officially supporting Power8 ( https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/power8 ). Do you have insight if they will support Power9? What's the n

Thanks for sharing this info. So the 4x SATA ports are optional and powered by PM8069, and they will only be present if you checkbox the "Integrated Microsemi SAS Controller (Proprietary)" on the purchase page, correct? Or in other words: if you don't checkbox "Integrated Microsemi SAS Controller

I am curious as to how Raptor got the funding for TALOS this time around, have major corporations finally seen the light and ordered some :D? I also want to know as to what is wrong with Intel's NICs so that I can share it with others (and not buy them in the future) - is it just simply the fa

Also want to add why broadcom? I heard they didn't have a good attitude to open source and as a large company I imagine they have a lot of institutional inertia preventing that from changing? - why not one of the smaller NIC makers such as atheros, mellanox, solarflare etc? Thank you for the f
