A 4-way machine is expected to cost less than $3500! IBM expects a 20x increase in the number of PPC Linux servers by 2006."

    No, you missed it, in this article the objective is not to run panther or any other cat named version of a certain operating system, named as such because the Jobs deemed it k3w1

    Some people like the day glo femme apple systems, doylies and daisies all over, and some people like the tough, my server can kick your servers ass styling of IBM's machines.

    Martha Stewart Apple or Man Show IBM, your pick, as long as you're not in prison without your soap on a rope it shouldn't matter much. Now don't go getting upset, I'm messing with you :-)
