The availability is listed on the first post of this thread (two of the Build 7s are still available).

Set it up as a home server (using Ubuntu, as you guys recommended).

Already have UShare running as a media server, and setting it up as a backup system for my home machines and will probably get rdiff-backup going for the linode.

The fans do help to keep the air moving in that room, but not that big a problem.

Next I need to start playing with UML and the xfire web service framework.

We just got+installed ours. Good servers, but they sound like death is coming to "blow" us away.

You’re my hero for posting this. I read the wrong spec sheet!

[quote:05ac91bb1b="caker"]I never said that! Currently, we use Ubuntu on the hosts. Back in the day it was RH9.

My bad I could’ve sworn you said that.

My apologies for accusing you of redhatting.

The company I work for (http://icontact.com) just snatched up 4 of these for our dev-land.

Seriously good deal.

$250 * 4 + $50*8 (160GB SATA disks) + $100 shipping/tax = $1500 for 4 servers.

That’s insane.
