Out of courtesy to our host, Sun makes some quite competitive X86 hardware. I have absolutely no idea how difficult it is to buy Sun machines retail, but it seems they might be missing out on an interesting market - robust and scalable SOHO servers for the DYI gang - certainly OEMS like us recommend them, although there doesn't seem to be a single-box file+application server in the lineup which might be a disadvantage to some. Also, assuming Oracle keeps the product line going, we plan to give them a serious look when we finally have to replace those sturdy old SPARCS. Unfortunately there aren't entry level SPARCs in the lineup, but sadly there probably isn't a big enough market to justify them and small developers don't need the big iron. It would be interesting to hear from Sun if they have any specific recommendations for the use of Suns for the DYI SOHO market; AFAIK it is the profits from hardware that are going a long way to support Sun's support of FOSS that we are all benefiting from, and there's a good bet that OpenSolaris will run well on Sun hardware :-) Cheers -- Frank
