I was just reading about Microsoft bragging that they handled NASDAQ, and how their technology is easier to install and maintain and provides lower TCO than Linux. Also ZDnet has some articles about Linux not being fit for much of anything besides fanboys.

Does this indicate that I've been misled? I was thinking that the Windows XP install disk crashing before doing anything was just their new way of keeping viruses off my computer.
A lot of financials are moving into Linux in a fair to large way. It's cheap, it's robust and they can (and do) check the source for backdoors etc. MS, HP, Sun don't have that sort of transparancy.
They should be 'Opterons', unless they're the 8-core variant, in which case 'Octoroons' would be acceptably vulgar and offensive.
"Opteroons" should be Opterons.

Just as a quick note ...any proliant server..that ends in a 5 is amd based...
540 = intel 
545 = AMD
the first two are the series....
right now amd 545 G4 is eq to intel 540 G5 due to hp not using amd untill recently. a gen lower is same performance ~
