Ali:

re >>"One of the first customers to sample Perpetua is Honeywell Security Products (formerly Westinghouse Security Electronics). The Fremont, Calif., company purchased a four-node box with one Limbix system and is running Red Hat Linux 6.0."<<

I'm very familiar with this company and can assure you that what Honeywell would consider good volume would not even generate a rounding error at Intel.

BTW Honeywell is a Dell shop and procures Intel-only PC's for internal use.

The machine in the article, Perpetua, is extremely expensive: Begins at 150 - 200K for 8 (eight) K6's. If you want reliability, for a little more money, you can get an 8-way SMP IBM S390 CMOS machine with an MTBF of 30 years and probably 10 times more powerful. Or, a Sun E series, almost as good. Patmos, Perpetua, Parpois, Limbix, nMime: this is a joke, right? These guys ought to be put into feature naming jail, if nothing else.
