XServe Replacement -- what are the hardware options?

We put in a call to ActiveStorage to ask if they plan to provide an alternative to NetBoot and Apple SUS. The sales rep told me he would bring it up in their next meeting.

If it runs on Linux, and if what folks have been saying about NetBoot and Apple SUS being possible with open source, and since one of the founders of ActiveStorage spearheaded Xserve development at Apple, we're anxiously awaiting their response.

Personally, I'd rather see NetBoot and Apple SUS running on Wintel, since our enterprise Datacenter staff can easily support the HW/OS, but until Apple provides a migration for these two (final) critical services that (currently) need to run on Apple hardware, we're kind of stuck.
