I'm looking to get some proformance #'s on them, how you like them, what you get from apple re:administering them, etc.

Hello,

I bought one to play around with, and put linux on it right away. It's not that powerful, and, depending on the OS, you will get drastically different performace numbers.

What do you mean by not that powerful? Do you have any real #'s? And what linux did you put on it? Yellowdog? Because yellowdog is about the worst server platform I've ever used.

Well, I was doing some heavy video encoding (I wasn't using it for hosting). I put Debian on it, so no, of course not YDL. No, sorry, no real numbers.

Sorry that I can't be of more help.
