It also includes some mainframe level features and can be used either as a single large server or divided into up to 16 "virtual" servers, running any combination of AIX 5L and Linux. Here's yahoo article, and here it is from IBM itself."

    Off topic?!?!
    Troll?!?!?!?!

    IBM controlled the pipe test found here. Lay off the crack moderators. Reread the article, read my link, find the association, then take another hit from the pipe. Sheesh!

    Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!

    thank you!

    finally, someone else that chuckles at the apple ads.

    and for the record, I hate the "feature" of slashdot that won't let you post after X mins when you just posted, and then it waits N seconds after you select reply before it lets you go.

    I'm aware that it does this to prevent spamming and bots being set up to post, but it is too sensitive now and the worst part is that the textbox gets cleared, so you lose what you wrote. which in my case is *always* brilliant.
