Hello, We are currently evaluating (without the actual hardware, just by reading whitepapers) a bladeframe system from Fujitsu-Siemens, which should be a relabeled egenera-system. maybe someone had such a system at work. my concerns are: a) does fedora (4,5,...) work on that? b) el4 seems to be supported, but would i need to have some special drivers. i dont like those closed-source drivers, as we always have to wait for vendors to get their supported kernel patched. c) most of their key-features (fast installation, balancing, redundancy,...) are already solved by kickstart, our firewalling-system,... currently we install important/heavy-loaded systems twice or triply, and use round-robin and load-balancing to achieve the same. without fancy gui, but who cares. the only feature i see is that hardware is better used, as the load gets spread over more blades, which is not the case with our standalone boxes right now. any input would be highly appreciated. yours josef
