From our contact at Yahoo. These are HP boxes. If for some reason we
prefer FC over RHEL, I should tell him quickly.
These have been ordered. I will ask about the eta.
--------- 3x DL385, dual CPU, 8GB RAM and 6 x 146GB 15k RAID 10. These have capacity for external shelves, can be added if needed.
20x DL140, dual CPU, 4GB RAM and 1 x 80GB HDD
My plan is to set these up with some linux image, probably RHEL4, and then your folks can re-jump them into whatever you like. I'll be available to help with that process, if need be.
These machines will have boot boxes and serial consoles.

An "out of curiosity" question: Those look like db servers to me. Does that mean wikimedia is moving to distributed servers? I was vaguely under the impression the dbs were going to be kept in Florida, and just Squids distributed.
