The term, 'Quad' means 'four' so what you're asking for is a four CPU computer. At this time, the machine you describe is impossible. In the future this may be impossible as well, or it may not be possible, only time will tell.
One promising sign is that the grey ape has emerged from his rocky den and is eying the new ferel female. We hope that copulation will ensue, and that a multi-CPU banana will be the result, and therefore this historical dialectical process will come to know itself and realize its idea. We believe that freedom is the idea of spirit and that spirit is reason in and for itself. The means for this realization, or cunning of reason, is the passions of the ape as both as an nCPU machine and as object of history, and its form is the state of the process (running, sleeping, blocked, zombie.) The N CPU machine is a moment in the development of the N+1 CPU machine, and for each such moment, as for all, thee owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the setting of the sun.
I have some Irish friends here in Boston, and they've all said, at some point, the wished they'd stayed in Ireland. Having been there several times, I can see why.
Yes, but that analogy dosen't fit the situation. The microsoft digital diva and the digital divas were/are online personalities, therefore there's a potential to confuse the two and hence the reason to put a stop to it. Just because they discuss subject matter doesn't mean there's enough differentiation to prevent possible confusion, and that's the key in these issues.
It's cool because a wealthy and powerful company wasn't able to strong arm a URL or trademark from away from the little guy.
Even if Microsoft's digital diva was useful for some reason, it doesn't mean they have a right to the name. I can't go out and start another software company and call it Microsoft just because it produces "useful" software, can I?. I'm sure Microsoft can think up another cutesy name.
Right, but I was thinking something more like a hosting company that's more familiar/comfortable with Solaris. I've gone to a few local companies and they're not too sure about letting me even cohost a Linux box. I have to admit, they could provide me with a $3600 USD 3rd party Sparc/Solaris box that was pretty impressive, with that I'd have the advantage of a bunch of really good Solaris admins too keep an eye on it for me while I sleep/drink too much beer.
Hey, that's cute. But it's happened to me only a few times in the many years I've been using RedHat. Compared to the many hours it would have taken me to compile and install source and (especially) figure out all the files I need to delete to remove that particular package or packages once I decided I didn't need it (them), RPM is great. Sure, there might be something better (like Debian's apt-get) but is is really *that* much better? No.
On the installation side, Debian sucks. I've installed FreeBSD and OpenBSD, and nothing sucks as bad as Debian, (actually, the *BSDs were pretty easy) so trade offs are made and RedHat's ease of instalation makes Debian a has-been in my book.
What does Dell's binary drivers have to do with RedHat? If Dell shiped their own binary drivers with with Debian pre-installed on their hardward, would that be OK? What does what Dell does have to do with RedHat?
At least RedHat will install. Several of my Linux-newbie friends have tried to install Debian 'cause they heard it was cool, but gave up because configuration was such a freakin pain.
Ten billion dollars seems awfully steep if they're buying Cobalt just to destroy them. After all, there are plenty of other linux machine rackmount machines to go around.
You think someone who invents something is just going to give complete control over it to
other people.
Wait, we already did! The internet used to belong to the people, but in our infinite generosity we gave what we paid for as a people to big business so we could pay for it again and again. Just because it's (currently) mostly american business doesn't mean it'll stay that way.
The problem is that waiters make typically eighty percent or more of their income from tips. If nobody tipped, all the waiters would quit and the price of the meal would have to be raised to pay the waiters properly. With meal prices 20 percent higher, you'd end up "tipping" for good *and* bad service since there'd be no longer be an incentive for good service. Sure, you could just not go out to eat anymore, but you do like to do that right? That's why you do it now?

Did you read my entire post? I think I explained myself more than adequately.

All the more for us then

You're welcome.
What is it about Slackware that makes the filesystem less, "finicky"?

Might help the boxes gain acceptance in shops that are mostly Solaris.
I thought we were already doing that?
Al Gore didn't say that, Dan Quayle did.
I think it's a yellow breed.
I'm from the planet where they learn how to use tools correctly instead of not doing so and complaining when things don't work.

What's your problem with RPM?

What's the problem with RedHat if you know what you're doing?
they offer CD mailings too

And I endorsed Barbara Simons
Grammar used to not concern me, but now you've convinced me of it's importance!
