Re: Here's an interesting piece of information

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

So how does the price/performance of a p5 with an i5 partition stack up 
to a and i5 with a Linux partition( I know next to nothing about the 
hardware although it's been hinted around here the p5/i5 separation may 
be a chimera).   The disclaimer "i5/OS running on a pSeries server is 
intended for customers who have a limited amount of i5/OS workload, 
limited growth anticipated for this workload, and wish to consolidate 
onto a single server where the majority of the workload will be either 
AIX 5L or Linux." may just be a red herring to prevent p5's from 
displacing i5's. However, given the incredible difficulties and hassles 
I have had with IBM in becoming an IBM i5 reseller, the p5 option might 
be a workaround?

Any port in a storm.....
