Sun Considers Opteron

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the workstations-on-the-cheap(er) dept.

Sanjay writes "Official from Sun spokesman. Sun is considering using AMD's Opteron chip in a server it expects to deliver to the market shortly. Intead of fighting Win of Wintel (like Redhat is doing), Sun can choose to fight both with Linux AMD's servers and also fight with HP/IBM as Itanium is anyway a non starter. Sun can rise again! "

  1. Dupe, I think. by dschuetz · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Whatever happened to those of us with acess to TMF being able to submit notice for pending dupes? I tried, but there's no easy way to figure out how to send a note to the editors. I still like the idea (naturally, since I brought it up) of a little form on TMF stories with the ability to submit dupe notification right then and there.

    Of course, if I'm wrong, then, fine. :)

    Make it a requirement for the people that approve posts that those people regularly read slashdot.

    Hell, I only spend a few minutes a day reading slashdot, and I have no trouble instantly spotting the dupes, so it wouldn't be too onerous a burden on your editors, would it?
