IBM puts blades on a low-carb(on) diet
,----[ Quote ]
| IBM also designed the new BladeCenter servers without internal
| disk drives, which use 10 to 12 watts. Instead, IBM is using a
| 4G-byte modular flash drive that it claims uses 95 percent less
| power than a spinning disk drive. The flash drive can be used as
| a Linux operating system boot drive and as a storage device to
| complement shared storage on the IT network."

Turning any computer into a Linux machine
,----[ Quote ]
| BIOS set to USB HD boot, the USB memory can revive the soundly dead
| Windows from its graveyard. Not only Windows, but also Linux can be
| kicked up from the USB device. In this case, Linux would totally
| hijack the Windows PC.
