Sun’s looking to give away free Niagara servers to bloggers looking to review them.

I put my name in, not that this blog is a huge traffic source, but because I’m doing a series of articles for IBM on Unix performance tuning, and I think it would be sweet to use one of these boxes. I’ve also been doing some tuning and setup for b5media, and I’d love to compare mySQL and/or apache under the same load, assuming I can figure out a way to simulate it. I suppose given a fast connection (cough, like the one at work, cough), I could direct a portion of the requests that way, or just to write some code to replay the day’s transactions at it and compare it to the actual performance.
