x2270 Xeon 5500 Server Runs Cool But Is Hot!

The Sun Fire x2270 runs cool but is very hot!
I added one to the Broomfield, Colorado test farm site. Eric Saxe is running it through it's paces for the tickless project. Darrin Johnson sent four to me and we will be adding them for the tickless project. I love the 1TB drives and the great speed. I plan to get more for general use in the next couple months.

Test Farm and SSH on an iPhone

Lets say you need to build and test a cool new OpenSolaris app and all you have is an iPhone. What do you do?

It turns out you can access advanced Sun servers and reserve a test zone using Safari and use SSH terminal apps like TouchTerm (free) all from an iPhone. Granted, this isn't the most ergonomic environment, but if you just need to kick off a new build or test run or fix that one character typo that caused your build to fail, it's fine. And it's amazing that a little handheld device can control big servers around the world.

(Now, unto remote terminal access using VNC :)
