Re: [cobalt-developers] Buy Raq 4i or 550 ?

[Paul Schulz <pschulz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jon, (and others)

Some comments about the LX50:
  - The Sun LX50 is a re-badged Intel 1U server.  
    There is a nice blue bezzel which just clips onto the 
    front.

  - The OS is Redhat, but renamed 'Sun Linux'
    (You even get the 3CD's in the box.)

The Sun Linux installation is very straight forward.
I'm using the Box to run Debian on at the moment ('cause I can),

We currently have a unit on loan/evaluation. 
Apparently there are only 2 in Australia.

I like that statement about MS :)

I have always used RaQ 4 since I started Over two years ago from leaving MS.
The more I here about the 550RaQ the more I am getting intrigued to try one.
Has any one tried the Sun LX50? And how do you find it compare to RaQ 4 s
