OT: Apple's New xServe - 1U Rackmount Server

[Rob Brandt]

There are still companies out there that are cautious of the open 
source license, and the presence of IBM in that market won't change 
that for now, although it may make some reconsider sooner.  A friend 
of mine went to work for one this month.  Everything is commercial, 
they are curious about open source, but by no means ready to deploy. 
Too many licensing, support, and reliability questions that have to 
be answered.  I do some db consulting for a Fortune 500, and the IT 
guy had to get permission to use an open source tool I had available. 
Change comes slow in the corporate world...
