Thats why you get an Ultra10 and beef it up. What yovue described doesn't require the heft of an E250 :) and anyhow, youd get the E275R or whatever, the rackmount.

Our E250's have great hardware/software intergration it seems, and the amount of 'bad stuff' the E250 will complain about is good, compared to default linux installs. * Nick.T.Reinking at supervalu.com <Nick.T.Reinking at supervalu.com> [000919 15:49]: > A Sun box running Solaris (with that kind of power) will cost > me much more than what I can afford.
