(scroll to the bottom of the page for the X40)

and may have to get one soon.

I'm on my 2nd Emperor Linux machine (Sony SRX87 now), and this may be my 3rd.

They charge $2800 for a 512Mb/40Gb X40 that IBM sells for $1800 and all they do is put Linux on it?

What is the advantage in that?

I can buy an X40 and chuck RedhatWS on it for $110 or Fedora for $0...
