[ale] Jaguar + XServe... [kinda OT]

Hey, I was curious if there would be any interest in having a presentation 
on OS X.2 with the XServe? I can get a couple of units + an Apple engineer 
for a presentation at a future meeting, if there's any interest.
I know that there has been a bit of controversy of the notion that Apple 
is trying to co-opt the open source movement and so forth. OSX 
is also most definitely *not* Linux. However a great many of us have been 
tracking with the FSF for years now and have seen Apple come round from a 
really quite 
backwards and litigious position to a pretty danged progressive position 
in recent years. These XServes are pretty cool boxes, you know? Anyway, I 
just thought I would throw this idea out for comments. While I do have a 
vested interest in seeing this happen (since the company I work for 
happens to be an Apple reseller / specialist) I wouldn't even suggest it 
if I hadn't seen a great deal of interest expressed on /. and a good many 
linux-y folks buying iBooks for their personal use. What do y'all think?
