linux64 which one is best recompiling or buying enterprise edition?
I know red hat has a version of linux they sell which doesn't need
recompiling for the athlon64 and also suse has one too. Is it better to go with another version that you recompile for a dual athlon64 system or is it better to buy one of those? I'm talking about in regards to performance, i want to use it to run apache and nothing else. Another thing is that all opterons are dual processor processors? |

I'm talking about in regards to performance, i want to use it to run apache and nothing else. I think any will perform about the same given that they're setup properly. Might want to download Mandrake 10.0 RC1 (kernel 2.6.6 I think) and try it. Just running Apache won't use much power unless you have a very high traffic situation. I don't know about the others, but the kernel sources, and all you need to recompile come with Mnadrake. You can bloat it up, or have lean machine depending on what you want to do. Another thing is that all opterons are dual processor processors? No. Models 1xx are single, 2xx dual, 8xx up to 8. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

Don't pay for Linux unless you require the support - support can be had for free in newsgroups / forums unless you're in a particular hurry. I'm talking about in regards to performance, i want to use it to run apache and nothing else. Well, gentoo has x86-64 pre built... apache will likely be built for that too, but usually Gentoo compiles everything by default. Another thing is that all opterons are dual processor processors? No. The first digit of the model number tells you how many of them you can bundle together. (1,2,8 are your options, I think) Ben -- A7N8X FAQ: www.ben.pope.name/a7n8x_faq.html Questions by email will likely be ignored, please use the newsgroups. I'm not just a number. To many, I'm known as a String... |

OK all, thank you for your support, i just want the best support for a
dedicated server and a scalable platform. This will be a streaming media server, so i want to do it right. I am a hardware guy from the windows side, but i am interested in the linux side and as far as scalability is concerned, there isn't any other way to go. Which is better gentoo or mandrake RC1?

If you are a Linux Newbie, probably Mandrake. If you want options, Gentoo. Gentoo is all about options, you can have anything you like, but unless you know what you want, it can be a bit daunting. However, a stage3 install isn't too bad. Mandrake on the other hand will provide you with a working system much more easily. With Gentoo, updating all of your software to the latest version is as simple as "emerge -u world", their package management truly is good.
