[TPIN] ADMIN- SERVER ISSUES

[Graham Young]

The only servers we had troubles with were Whitebox or barebones (Tyan)
HP and IBM were Bullet proof. Dell cheap but more service.
I agree though.
Last thing Michael need is people who cannot decide on a mouthpiece
specifying A server they do not have to maintain. All the issues or tech
specs should be the University IT Admin guidelines.
We just need to pay for it.

Graham makes an excellent point:

"The free maintenance by university techs is worth far more than the server
itself."

I would be inclined to let the university techs spec and purchase the
server.  My experience with trying to save a few dollars is that it
alienates the techs and then they go out of their way to demonstrate how
flaky that cheap server is.

Oh and thanks to the University for hosting TPIN!
