Do you think this would make a good Moodle server?

I just read about this on AppleInsider and I was coming here to ask you about it smile  I'm so jealous smile  I would LOVE to run Moodle on it... I would LOVE just ONE Xserve smile  I wonder how many simultaneous chatters and/or quiz takers could hit your Xserve cluster? smile

Infoworld, an admired system admin/engineer's periodical, just named the Xserve as 2004 Hardware Product of the Year.  Mac OS X 10.3 was named Best Operating System.  I think this is the first time they have named Apple products as networking leaders.

Like Mark, I'd like to have even one Xserve. Our Moodle site is still running on a G4. smile


It'd be great to wake up and discover that UPS had left this on your doorstep:

It would certainly be a step up from my current server wink ...

Seriously though, I have many fond memories of my old ZX81.

Reminds me of the great song by the Eagles, "There's a New Toy in Town".

There's talk on the street; it sounds so familiar
Great expectations, everybody's watching you
People you meet, they all seem to know you
Even your old friends treat you like you're something new

Xserve come lately, the new toy in town
Everybody loves it, so don't let them down...
