In an article from yesterday, InfoWorld is reporting that Sun will start shipping a server with its new Sun Linux in August. “The Sun server, to be officially named Cobalt LX50, is the company's first general-purpose server to run Sun Linux and could be attractive to customers looking for a system to handle tasks such as e-mail, file and media serving. The new server will use two 1.4GHz Pentium III processors from Intel and two 72G-byte hard drives, the sources said.”
“The LX50 will be announced by Scott McNealy, Sun's chairman and chief executive officer, during his keynote speech at the LinuxWorld conference here, the sources said. Sun announced plans to roll out Linux-based servers earlier this year, but has yet to provide many details on the systems.”
