Is it just me ... or does "IBM BladeCenter E" sound much more impressive than the little box in the pictures ...?

You'd be a lot more impressed if you stood behind it when the fans spin up. And if you got to see all the lights in the house dim when it starts to draw power. Or if you had to carry ~140 pounds of the chassis and two blades. Or if you had a shell account on the HS21 blade with two quad core Xeons and 16gb of ram :-)

There was a time when getting Linux running on a standard PC/laptop brough much joy ... Now its all about running Linux on beefy servers, obscure embedded devices, cell phones, clusters, and well, you name it. Who knows what technology we'll have 10 years down the road, but lets hope that the "YEAH!! I GOT LINUX TO WORK ON IT!!!!!" feeling never goes away :)

The QS20 looks interesting, sad to hear it didn't work for you. Do you have any good links for developing for it? The little bit of Googling I did for QS20/21s just found glossy type info and few concrete examples of things that you can do with it.
