So if the idea of the Tooth Fairy originated in a human, then some human, at some point, "knew" the Tooth Fairy existed without being told, "The Tooth Fairy exists! You better believe in her."
If god is outside our physical reality, then how do you know what she wants? Perhaps she's an evil god?
I have no problem with people believing in whatever they like but when they retort that the unknowable, untouchable, unprovable, all seeing god wants women to cover themselves from head to foot and never to read then even you must see my reticence.
I was interested in the virtulization aspects, and the VIO server is only (currently) available as AIX, there is a Linux alpha version that I tested with some success but IBM won't support it out of the box.
When testing our multi threaded apps, performance under AIX was around 15% better than on Linux on similarly specced lpars.
The impression I got was that IBM were using Linux support as a selling point to people looking to migrate from AIX/Solaris/HPUX etc to Linux.
Support issues for Linux on the Power 5 is also questionable, I had a few problems which went around the houses, bouncing off Suse, IBM, Suse etc.
I have just evaluated a pSeries 590 and while Suse is supported the support for AIX on the same platform is miles ahead in terms of hardware support.
You would be shooting yourself in the foot to run Linux on your brand new IBM hardware.
As for the Solaris, their main problem at the moment is clock speed, they just can't match IBM and Intel. However if you were looking to upgrade your legacy Solaris equipment you wouldn't go too far wrong by looking at Fujitsu's offerings.
Solaris 10 is a pretty awesome OS, it's worth it's weight in gold for Dtrace alone...
You should becareful here as you may be confusing IP fragmentation with Ethernet fragmentation. Unfortunately lots of network boxes just truncate large frames.
and if you count the cost of your time porting the software does it still work out cheaper? Add on the debugging time for a new platform and so forth. It's all grand and dandy looking at the hardware costs alone but the people buying these boxes have more to worry about than a few thousand dollars in hardware costs.
The lead in pencils is actually a mixture of clay and graphite. The more clay the harder the 'lead'.
The name comes about from the early misconception that graphite was a form of lead. Called plumbago or blacklead, a substantial deposit of graphite was found in England during the 1500's where upon it quickly became widespread amongst the writers and artists of the time.
It wasn't until 1779 that the swedish chemist Scheele worked out that it was actually a form of carbon and in 1789 the german geologist Werner gave it the name graphite, after the greek verb graphein, meaning "to write."

perhaps you could build a comparable machine for half or even quarter of the cost, but it would be pretty pointless without the software.......
