Harware to use for Redhat 9/Fedora?
I am going to build a new machine and want opinions (about the hardware config). HW cost under $2,000, so no suggestions to buy a $10,000 machine please.
The machine will be running Redhat 9/Fedora. Sendmail+MailScanner+SpamAssassin+ClamAV DNS/BIND Apache+PHP MySql Qpopper Radius etc. I am contemplating the following setup: Tyan MB w/ Dual 2.4Ghz Xeon 2GB RAM Promise SATA RAID (set to RAID0 for speed) 2 x 36GB SATA (like 10,000 rpm Western Digital Raptor) ...possibly 1 EIDE/ATA besides RAID for / , /boot and the like, using the RAID drive(s) for /var/ , etc. Opinions on the Promise/RAID 0 for performance. The main load on the server is Sendmail/Qpopper because of the number of user accounts on it. Thanks! |
"Opinions on the Promise/RAID 0 for performance."
Promise's Linux support is horrible. You are much more likely to have smooth sailing with HighPoint than Promise. As to speed, I have no opinion. ___________________________________ Be prepared. Create a LifeBoat CD. http://users.rcn.com/srstites/LifeBo...home.page.html Steve Stites |
