Are these all physically in Fremont? I live near Fremont. If I wanted to buy some, could I pick them up instead of having them shipped?

They're all in our Absecon, NJ office and would need to shipped from here.

Actually, yes. For the first time we're all working in one place together and I'm pretty excited about it.

I've ordered one of these.
I plan on using it to play with UML at home.

WIthout giving away any company secrets... what do you recommend for a distro to use for this server?

Mister Cake has told me before that they use CentOS as the host for their boxes.

However, I've used xen with ubuntu/debian with success.

I never said that! Currently, we use Ubuntu on the hosts. Back in the day it was RH9.

Older hosts did use a base Red Hat 9 install but all current hosts are Ubuntu all the way.

EDIT: Mr. Cake beat me to it :<

This sale of the older hardware is just another great perk of being at Linode. I don't have a use for one this time around, but I hope that next time you'll give us first dibs as well.

The company I work for (redacted) just snatched up 4 of these for our dev-land.

Seriously good deal.

$250 * 4 + $50*8 (160GB SATA disks) + $100 shipping/tax = $1500 for 4 servers.

That's insane.

My bad :( I could've sworn you said that.

My apologies for accusing you of redhatting. :)

Jay,
I thought the 250 units used ATA/100 drives.. what SATA drives are you planning on using?
