For a project I may need a SMP motherboard with the following specs:
1. 3 processors.
2. Linux support is mandatory.
3. Processors from Intel or its competitors - advantage (i.e. Alpha,
Sparc, etc. are at disadvantage).
As of now, I am not familiar with the Israeli market of such workhorses.
I would like to know if and where are the following:
1. Vendors
2. Israel based mailing lists/discussion groups
3. Users who have the time, knowledge and inclination to give advice to a
newcomer.
