I have been asked to help someone learn about Linux. So far, I have installed Linux on an existing box. I must also give advice on new hardware. One of the concerns this person has, is not having anything spinning in his office. He currently uses a diskless sparc station, which is apparently also fanless since it is very very quiet.
Does anyone know if the same is possible in the ix86 architechture ? I know I could set him up with a diskless box booting off a server in another room, but could that diskless box also have a fanless powersupply ? I figure the cpu would still need its fan. Anyone think that the absence of a fan in a diskless box would cause heating problems ?? Thanks, Gerald
