Wednesday March 02, 2005 Trivial Tidbits
The month of March is named for Mars, the Roman god of war.
The early Roman calendar, the introduction of which is traditionally attributed to Romulus in the early 700's B.C., began with March. When Julius Caesar reformed the Roman calendar in 46 B.C., March was moved to the third month.
According to the Modern Birthstone list provided by the Jewelers of America, the official birthstone of Februry is aquamarine.

Another V40Z Review
I recently blogged about a review AnandTech did on the Sun Fire V40Z. Today, I happened across an earlier V40Z review, this one presented by LinuxWorld. Conclusions from the review:
"The [Sun] Fire V40z provides a very flexible hardware platform on which you could deploy any application."
"The V40z is an exceedingly powerful and adaptable machine in a very small package."
"After a month of using this machine, I really have very little to find fault with. I'd be happy to recommend the V40z as an excellent multipurpose server in an SME, or as a departmental or task-specific server in a larger organization."
