The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

I understand that you can do literally almost anything on an i.
The question is why you would want to spend those cpu cycles
and memory on something you can do for much cheaper on a
linux box.
Regarding cost, that depends on whether you're talking about application development vs. running production workloads. If you're pursuing a hobby or developing an application, you're right; a PC is going to cost less. However, under a production scenarios, the choice is more often whether to manage server farms including high-cost database servers, or consolidate workloads under a single IBM i server. Server farms are almost always more expensive than consolidating workloads under IBM i.
