Sun Releases New Servers, Blades & More

Looks like they're aiming their guns at intel based systems with many new blade offerings and several small to midrange servers. The article also points out that they're lowering their prices on other servers." Probably a lot more information will come out from the web view - that starts @ 12:30 PM EST - but I think it'll take more than blade servers to make a difference in the future.Removed the first part of the link - the DoubleClick part was my copying link location, and not checking it - it should be correct now.

Why SUN? by josh+crawley · 2003-02-10 07:19 · Score: 0, Troll

Is Sun still NOT supplying basic low-level data documents on how to control memory management and chip accesses? If I remember correctly, SUN allowed a Linux developer see the required documents and code a kernel compile for the Sparc64 platform, but is holding out on the BSD's.

Thing is, if you request the papers, you have to sign a NDA to get them. They arent even saying Yes to the BSD developers (probably cause BSD's better than sunos, and they see Linux as sucky piece of shit).
