The last server was running Solaris, on Sun hardware, I can only assume it was faster on basic things such as writing to disk. BUT! I had limits to just how much processor time I got, commands happened quickly, but some of the processes were throttled down to allow other users to get a little CPU, heh. The new server is running on Denebian Linux, on an Intel platform. No throttling on this one, I get the full processor as I need it, but! Looks like the disk access time is not as swift, so we lose things when we jump too fast. Solution? None that I can think of off-hand, other than to pack my bags and go look for another server. One of my possible plans for the OzoneDotCon was to make one of our projects the building of our new home server, see how many good bits of hardware we can cobble together into the killer forum server. (I'm thinking ultra high-speed SCSI2, super fast drives, etc, etc...) Then I could shop around for place to co-locate that server. For now? We better learn to live with it, this is the best place I could find for housing this CPU-sucking beast. Next year I'll vow to become really really rich and buy us a nice [url=http://www.sun.com/servers/workgroup/450/]Sun Enterprise 450 with quad CPUs and 4 GIGs of RAM, with a nice RAID array[/url]. You have my word! (What I really want for christmas is [url=http://www.sun.com/servers/highend/10000/]http://www.sun.com/servers/highend/10000/[/url] - you too?)
