Hi

I work as a sysadmin with Linux servers on x86 hardware and also have some
experience with Sun/SPARC and Solaris.

I'd also like to get a desktop for use at work (and at the same time get
used to HPUX) and have seen a C3600 for sale at a reasonable price. The
seller describes it as "very fast!".

I'd after your oppinions on this workstation - is it reliable? Just how fast
is it? Does it make sense as a "main machine" for use coding PHP/Perl,
admining other servers (ssh), web browsing, development server (Apache) etc?

Cheers

Alex

It should be ok, but compared to new ia86-Hardware it's a dead horse.
It is nice to see the excellent quality of the machine. but i would not 
money on this hardware, if i could reach the same with a linux-box.
Actually we have two C3600 and six B1000 (much slower) for CAD-applications.
the machines are running well. As a production-environment it works excellent.
But as i said before: The CAD-Apps are for HP-UX (or MS-Windows). If we could
get them for Linux, i would throw away the PA-RISC-machines.

bye

It's a reasonably fast box, but lags behind "current" product lines ..
..the c3700, the J-class boxes, and the Itanium systems. 

I can get C3600's for under $1000. A good buy for that price.

Quite,

I think so, yes.

Which CAD is this (running both on HP-UX and Windows)?

CoCreate Onespace Modeller 3D (aka Solid Designer) and CoCreate ME10 2D.

Thanks, I didn't know their windows version (I'm working for a CAD company
myself).
If you are looking for a linux CAD, you might check this link:

Thanks for the link, but there is one little mistake:
ME10 for Linux (i have a demo version) was only available for a limited time.
Because ther were not enough $-input, they stopped this version :(
I think it was a mistake, but i am not working for cocreate.
Now we are searching for an alternative to the
HPUX-machines (ME10 and 3D-SolidDesigner), which is NOT windows.
