As i handled a few of them, I think the K-class cpu (pa8000 - 8200) coolers are active ones. Not sure about the ones in L and N class servers (which have BIG radiators cooled by HUGE fans) or about the SD ones (which are cooled by 4 BIG M-F turbines and some fans)
2.4 is faster than 2.2 but is not that stable.
I tried it on all the machines i have but on some (some p1 desktops and laptops) i had to revert to 2.2 because 2.4 crashed WAY too much and too often. (ranging from system freezes to scads of oopses an panics). The problem is that 2.4 uses the hardware at 110% potential but if the hardware is flakey (as those pentiums were) - it will bomb.
So: stay with 2.2 on "Production"-grade machines and on machines whose hardware you don't trust 100% --
1) Mirroring (what's an extra 120usd if you want to be SURE that you don't lose your 40Gb of data)
2) RAID5 (unfortunatelly i haven't seen ATA controlers doing this in hardware, so it's either SCSI or software raid)
3) Click on my.sig to get THE BEST tape deal ever. Yes i have one. Yes it works a-ok:)

From WHERE exactly can I buy those machines please ? I'd like to get - like - a dozen of those server-class machines with no O/S on them. Today. Now. While supplies last.
Hehe. Lil'guy. In the old times we had: 8088, 8086, 80286, 386, 486sx, 486slc, 486dlc and NexGen which didn't had an internal Floating Point Unit. You had to buy an external one (8087, 80287, 387 and 487(a 387 for the 486dlc and slc).
Anyone remember the Weitek FPU's ? They were from 200 to 800% faster than the intel x87 counterparts. I still have two working motherboards with a Weitek slot on them. Does Linux make use of it ? --

Nope, it isn't hard:) A friend of mine once formatted a floppy in ext2 with the command "mke2fs/dev/hda". On a running webserver. Big one. It had only one hdd./dev/hda.:)
I myself once reduced a HP-UX LVM partition on the fly. Not wanting to make any mistakes i grabbed someone to confirm me that everything was correctly written before i pressed enter. He confirmed me that indeed the/dev/vg00/lvol3 is the/home partition an the command is correct. So i pushed Enter and it reduced the/dev/vg00/lvol2 (as it was clearly written on the command line which 4 eyes inspected it:) and reduced the swap partition. On a live system. Also big one. I now use 12x24 fonts and read the command aloud at least three times in moments like that.:)

I have one of those and it's plain cool.
> SuperDome has been a failure
Care to explain why ? I (the VBC i work for) have one and it does its work fine (_way_ faster than we expected)
Remember that those cpu's are intended for some machines which come with a reccomended minimum of 1GB Ram of more ...
