ARM servers started appearing. It is cheap and consumes less energy than Intel and AMD boards (I don't have any numbers to show it). If people are going to run Linux servers they have a set of processors to choose from. Intel and AMD processors are market dominant but it does not mean ARM cannot be used. This is just my opinion. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
