Linux-only POWER5 server From IBM

Posted by Hemos on from the making-the-rounds dept.

    Something tells me that booting up OS X Server on an XServe is going to be cheaper than these babies.

    Um, interesting, because those ROMs aren't present in .. any of my machines running OS X. Welcome to newworld. The only OSX-running machines which isn't newworld are the beige G3s, and they're not even supported any more.

    Even OS 9 has supported having the ROM present in a file rather than physically present for ages.
