NetMachines enters the server fraySummary
Rawn Shaw dons his welding goggles to examine NetMachines' red-hot new server.Linux is becoming the choice for many ISPs, and to support the growing demand, a number of vendors offer custom servers packaged specifically for that market. Among them are Cobalt Networks, Rebel.com, and NetMachines. In this review, I took a gander at NetMachines' Redrak low-profile server and compared it to my experience with the other vendors. Just to let you know: that red box is red-hot.

(Mom, I Clustered My Servers!)As the name implies the RedRak is a rack-mountable net appliance, much like the Cobalt Raqs. The RedRak we received at Byte.com, is a Celeron 500-MHz unit with 512-Mbytes of RAM and a 21-Gbyte IDE disk. Netmachines are declared Linux activists and clearly they follow the hacker culture. This is visible in many small details of the hardware and software they include (the mouse port is called "Rat port").

A small -- but growing -- number of startup hardware makers are nuzzling up to the penguin pennant.
"Six months from now, we could be the leader," according to Tsepeleff, who says the company's hardware and software combination is less expensive and easier to install and use than a corresponding Windows NT implementation."
