   What is custom hardware?   
      
   Is a Linux box that you build from parts and and run a customized   
   distribution custom hardware?   
      
   I think that it's fairly well known that Google does have a lot of   
   custom servers.  They are used for a lot of different things.  Again, I   
   can't be more specific.   
      
   If a custom build with a tweaked distro counts, then sure, that's   
   exactly what they had in '98.
