Thats a pretty interesting machine... Barely competitive with a Sun Netra
T1, similar hardware configuration, etc.  But for basically the same price,
I'd have to go with the Sun.  Solaris and Sun are just plain rock

closed source solution for mission critical applications".  We'll see if I
stick to my axiom.
