Linux Journal Reader's Choice: HP ProLiant

My November 2005 copy of the Linux Journal arrived Monday with the
Reader's Choice Awards results -- HP ProLiant wins Favorite Server category!




Favorite Server


  1. HP ProLiant

  2. Monarch Empro Custom Rack Server

  3. Unisys ES7000 Family



A note to HP: please take this first-place win here, where second-place votes were less than half of what you received, as proof that we like
your boxes, so you can cut out the pointless marketing poo-flinging at
Sun, already.



Photo of DL380 and sidebar: "Last year, the HP ProLiant BL20p G2 won the
Editor's Choice Award for Server Hardware. Now the readers are singing
the ProLiant's praises."



Yay team!
