That's odd. I've worked for several large financial companies in St. Louis and they tend to be mixed. I've never seen more than 50% Linux machines in server environments around here.

Extremely jealous, much better price and rackmount. There you go. EDIT: Just noticed no CPUs/Memory. Those CPUs will cost you.


Yes the processors are pretty pricey.

What I meant about the servers was there seem to be more used windows servers for sale. Sometimes a company will try to run something on windows and find that OS is not robust enough and go to UNIX or Linux. I guess all that depends on how big the company is and if they run their own network.
