Blade based systems

[Cole Tuininga]

I have a project that I'm working on that's going to require a fair
number of servers.  For space considerations, we've been considering
going with a blade style setup.  I have a couple questions for y'all
regarding them...  (BTW, they will be intended to run Debian Linux)

1) Pros and Cons?  Is there anything I need to know regarding blade
style servers in general?

2) Specific experiences?  Anybody have brands they would recommend, or
recommend *against*?

Thanks in advance for all input.  8)
