[LINK] "Green" servers

[Richard Chirgwin]

Linkers,

"Green" computing has come up on Link before, I noted with interest a 
story on The Register about low-powered servers:

> Witness the OpenMicroServer, which this week went on sale 
> <http://www.plathome.com/products/microserver/oms/index.html> to North 
> American folk. It's 9 inches by 4 inches by 1.3 inches. The system has 
> built-in Power over Ethernet and can run fanless at up to 122°F over 
> long periods of time. CRAC units need not apply. It also sports a pair 
> of Gigabit Ethernet ports, a 100Mb port, a pair of USB ports and a 
> pair of serial ports.
>
> The unit runs the SSD Linux operating system, which straps NetBSD 
> userland functions onto the Linux kernel.

> Okay, okay. We'll grant you that the system limps along on a single 
> 400MHz (AMD/Raza) Alchemy MIPS chip.
(etc)

I'll be interested to see how this market plays out!
