Re: A GNU/Linux Machine Takes Shape

I have decided to trash my accessory Core i7 machine and replace it
with a Xeon W based system.
 The last time I checked, a Xeon W system would cost over $2K and
I was reluctant.
 But now I found some fantastic bargains:
 Xeon W-1270P

 Gigabyte W480 Visual W
 https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145224
 All I need is memory and a heat sink and I'm in business for
less that $1K.  (I can reuse my power supply, video card, and
SATA HDD drives -- for now.)
 The Xeon W-1270P has 8 cores but it lacks AVX-512 which is no
problem because this my accessory machine.
 Of course I would NEVER install that stinking pile of garbage
known as Microshit Winblows on this THIS fantastic machine.
 ONLY GNU/Linux can bring out the true power.
 ONLY GNU/Linux.
 The case is closed.
 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
