That is beautiful! I'd like one for myself.<br>
<br>
I'm sure there are quite a few small businesses which would really benefit from having one of these. Nice and compact.<br>
<br>
Are they planning on actually selling them or just bundled with the training?<br>

Subject: [Chester LUG] Anyone fancy a cluster in a box?<br>
<br>
Yes, those days when you think, "Ah if only I'd brought my cluster with me..." could now be over! Ubuntu's new system fits 10 servers in something you can carry around.<br>
<br>
This was announced last week, so sorry if you've already seen it, but I like this Jobs like reveal!<br>
