They aren't even "professional" or "server" ones.  Tyan made the
mistake of making a "Tiger" product with the KT -- never to repeat

Actually, you've regularly advocated ViA and "desktop" mainboards
(including the "consumer" rated Intel products) as "server" solutions
on this list (and others).

I don't point these things out to embarrass or otherwise make an
issue other than to prevent people from creating headaches for
themselves.  I know my stuff comes off as a "my way dammmit"
attitude, but "a few bucks more" pays _big_returns_ if it just saves
you 1-2 hours.

Especially when you are an IT professional billing a client.  I.e., I
consider it unethical to save the client $100 on a "desktop"
mainboard when that choice is going to result in a "cost" to them,
let alone I get to bill several more hours in support, optimization,
etc...

Makes me want to bit-smack the hell out of other Linux consultants
when I see it.
