Cheap PPC Linux Machines From IBM

ksheff writes "According to this story, IBM is planning on introducing low-end SMP servers and deskside machines based on the PPC970. The machines would be able to run Linux and AIX. 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."

    Join the SJP Today! SJP (SJP) is the first organization which
    gathers Straight Jews from all over the world for this simple goal - being totally def.

    Are you a member of the GNAA?

    If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may have just been beat to first post by the SJP!
    Join SJP (Straight Jew Posse) today, and enjoy all the benefits of being a full-time SJP member.
    GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) is the fastest-growing GAY NIGGER community with THOUSANDS of members all over United States of America. And If they can accomplish that, just imagine what Jews can do!

    Facts:
    1. Jews have their own country, one that doesn't suck, like all those African ones.
    2. There are a lot of Smart Jews, which is bragable.
    3. Whereas the GNAA undoubtedly likes to eat pork rinds and watermelon, we Jews prefer such fine cuisine as schmaltz and gribbenes
    4. Jews have been kicked out of more countries than anyone else.

    Join the SJP today! Why not? It's quick and easy - only 4 simple steps!

    First, you have to be a Jew. Messianic Jews don't count and will be shot in the face. You're Christians. Don't steal our Jews.

    Second, you need to be a heterosexual, if you're male. However there is evidence in the Torah that lesbianism is ok with G-D. So Kike Dykes are cool with the SJP.

    Third, you need to download Licensed to Ill by the Beastie Boys, because rap is best done by Jews.

    Fourth, send an email to SJP4eva2003@yahoo.com listing your qualifications and what you feel you can bring to the SJP.
    Of course, dual membership between the SJP and the GNAA is theoretically possible, but not recommended.

    If you are having trouble locating #SJP, the official Straight Jew Posse IRC channel, that would be because it doesn't exist. IRC is for niggers.

    If you have any Matzah Ball Soup and would like to support SJP, please moderate this post up.

      Sir, I would come to discuss this with you, however, I am unable to connect to irc.lagged.org. It says I am unauthorized to connect, and as I remember, they only accept connections from Texas based clients. Being that I have not been on EFnet in a long time, could you give me another server that is more open with its I:lines? Thank you.

      Since joining the GNAA, I've become a better gay nigger. Being able to share my interests with others of my kind has been a great relief to me, having previously been opressed by the straight Jew fuckers of SJP. My sex life has also greatly improved, having been able to have massive gangbangs with my fellow ebony brothers.

    Now, isn't this much easier to read?
    A Linux installation on a G5 would make a really nice box. Personally, I feel that Mac OS X is a great operating system for people that don't have much experience with computers, however for anyone else it's far too bloated.

    I own an iBook with only a 900 MHz G3 CPU, and Linux flies on it! While running Linux I can open Mozilla, Gimp 1.3, all my favourite apps, and it works without being slow. In Mac OS X, my iBook just rotates a little rainbow beachball at me. Mac OS X runs like a turtle.

    On a G5 you wouldn't see that kind of slow-down, because Mac OS X is finally running on hardware with enough power to handle it. However, I bet Linux, especially once IBM has optimised it, will be far faster than Mac OS X.
    I wish you the best of luck, and hope your writing skills improve.
