There is a storying running on /. regarding this.  It seems a few big boys 
are putting together a testing lab.  It'll give open source projects access 
to the enterprise level hardware they probably don't have access too, in 
order to test their applications.  Personally, I know I don't have a 32 CPU 
RS6000 running at a squillion MHz, but YMMV.  :)

The corporate players in it are IBM, HP, Intel, NEC, along with Red Hat, 
Turbolinux, Linuxcare, VA Linux, Dell and SGI.

It sounds very promising.

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd.    His skin was pale and his eye was odd.
Always trust an Australian with a razor.
