I mean, YD has a commitment to support the PowerMacs in the
US, bringing drivers and all that up to date and integrated. Not
applicable to Debian nor to Europe -- French Switzerland in
particular.
What I need is a silent RISC server with RAID and power supply
redundancy, three years on-site hardware warranty, and the assurance
all pieces will have drivers.
I could buy a IBM machine, but it is probably not silent and I
am not sure of getting all drivers for it. "Linux" for them probably
means SuSE and Red Hat. I could buy a Pegasos or A1, but their
support and integration story still is not there, at least not in the
timeframe I need -- second week of July.
