Hey August!

That's a beast alright.  I noted the 32G ram limit which for 16 penguins would be my minimum for a system.  Is it maxed out?

The only comparable system I have right now is a 8 core (2 threads per core) epyc with 128G of ecc ram, which makes it awesome for building ramdisks.  Only a single socket motherboard but more up to date than your xeons.

> Havent tried a linux boot yet.

My best guess would be that it will require a special bootloader.  I've never owned a mac before and it is my understanding that they require special treatment.  Once it is booted though it should be worth the extra effort methinks.

BTW the url works great on a text browser.  I am impressed.  I didn't think apple had it in them.  Mind you I imagine that is an old page.
