IBM PPC EServer running AIX.

I really don't give a toss about Raid anything in a Hobbiest Home network environment... One big piece of spinning rust will do the job just nicely thank you very much. Simple is good, less hassles. Except for the fly spray of course ;).
 
Got these comment from to FaseBook chaps:-

"They are called IBM eServers pSeries (for POWER and PowerPC).
These were made in collaboration with Apple and they actually were called PReP systems.
PReP and CHRP were complete failures because Apple and IBM were in agreement only on the processor which was basically contract manufactured by Motorola as the Apple/IBM alliance was supposed to be fab less.
But Apple used Apple Desktop Bus and NuBus and IBM used PS/2 and Micro Channel.
So there was no common platform until USB and PCI appeared.
But by time the alliance has long gone down under."

"On that hw you can run also AS400 (i5os)"

I swaw on my Grandads grave I'd never join FaceBook. now I am glad I did...
 
That machine might be able to run Solaris PPC altho I think it's a little too new. Not that there's anything to do with Solaris on PPC.
