They do exist. And they run Linux. SLES9 in fact. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIVAC_1100/2200_series#UNISYS_ClearPath_IX_series http://www.unisys.com/eprise/main/admin/corporate/doc/ClearPath_Plus_Dorado_Model_390_Server_Specification_Sheet.pdf That machine is a direct descendant of the Univac 1101 from 1950 and is still software-compatible with 1107s from 1962. (Granted, they only run Linux on the x86 side.) -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
