This article worked great for me. More than the usefulness of having the programming on the puny and slow hard drive on the mini, it’s good to know that the firewire port on the motorola box is active and is sending useful signals out.
According to IDC , sales of Windows systems accounted for 36.9% of all server revenue in the quarter, versus 31.7% for Unix and 11.5% for Linux.
However, Linux is growing faster than windows (34.3% vs 17.7% revenue growth) and (20.5 % vs 15.3% unit shipment growth).
More information inferred from the IDC press release:
x86 revenue = 6.3 billion (50.4%)
From Q205 numbers:
x86 revenue = 5.7 billion
x86 volume = 1.5 million servers
average price = $3800 (too high for dual cpu boxen?)
The next time someone from Mr Bush’s white house talks about spreading democracy in the middle east, someone should ask them about
Egypt
Another glaring example of useless diplomatic speak that the UN is often accused of.
To some extent, all this rhetoric is useless. If the other countries don’t like the US control over ICANN, they should just setup their own and ignore ICANN.
Someone should tell Mr McNealy about the Mac Mini, which consumes 12W idle and 20W max, while doing work. And I can get work done while the network is down.
