Thats good to hear, I was really looking forward to replacing some of my boxes with these. I figured router, Pbx, Mail/DNS. As each one of those is running on like a p3 or a vm. Router is a amd 3000+ though. I just love that these are small, low power, rack mountable, low heat, oh and cheap.

I'm currently firewalling an insurance company on one (vyatta), I had one firewalling the local budweiser distributor (pfsense) and I was using one as a primary nameserver (Gentoo Linux). These things have never even burped. I have an intel system that has given me lots of trouble, but these supermicros just get it done quietly.
