Howzabout the ~4300 servers in our NOC, all running Red Hat summerother?
They're far from low usage (one day I'll forward a traffic stats report
to the list), and quite essential to the business. Mostly P-II and
-III's, and about half hardware RAIDs. Running like a champ. I dunno if
I'd want to use it for heavy-duty stuff like Mr. McG hints at (a P-III's
not a Cray anyway), but for web/mail/ftp and the like, it's Quite Ready
for Prime Time.
