| IBM's new servers (eServer xSeries) will support Linux on up to 16 processors in a 3U (three rack unit) sized box. The first versions of the xSeries will include 32-bit Intel processors, with 64-bit chips to come later. | |

| For more info on this, check out www.ibm.com/linux and there is some good info. The 64 bit server that is up and coming is the xSeries 380. It has the Itanium processor. The high end Intel one they have now is the X370, and that has 8 Xeon processors, and up to 32gb memory.... Linux ready. IBM supports 4 kinds of linux, RH, Suse, Caldera, and TurboLinux. I have installed RH on most of the Xseries servers, and will be working on the other 3 versions this week. IBM is really pushing linux, because they would rather you spend and extra grand on a server than on software! On that site, there are also some good case studies etc about businesses running linux, and what not... I am trying to learn this stuff as fast as I can!
