Comments on Silicon Graphics PowerServers

[Rodney Campbell]

I am currently in the process of evaluating various Server machines for
purchase. I am considering the Silicon Graphics 3D/320 with a SCSI and an
SMD drive. 
I was just wondering if any REAL users and programmers could
give me a little insight into this machine. i.e. what they think of the
machine, the OS, the tools and applications, the programmers toolkits,
etc. 
I am used to a SunOS environment personally so I would be interested
in any comments that could compare say a SPARC machine to the SG.
Also are there any special problems I should look out for as a programmer?
Any comments would be most appreciated - via EMail would be preferable and
I could possible summarise if there are enough responses.
			      Thanks....       	Rodney....
