Hi Gordon,

Any reason you mention Debian? Is it just preference? Or...?

I'm a Debian person, myself. We have * 1.2 on a PowerEdge 2950 with CentOS (which I dislike). We got it commercially done and it's under warranty, although I don't think they'd mind if we muck around with the OS - they'd probably just charge if they have to do some servicing. I'd make sure I have system image backups.

If I had my way / spare time / etc I'd put Debian... but for the risk of wrecking a perfectly working, production system.

Hard to work out what to suggest - what's your expected load going to be? Any telco cards? etc.

If you want support from Dell, then it's RHEL whatever...

Personally, if I had that hardware, I'd load up Debian Etch, compile up a custom kernel for it, compile up the latest asterisk (rather than use the Debian package), and just get on with it.

Hyperthreading shouldn't be an issue with a relatively recent kernel (it doesn't appear to be for me, but my load is relatively light on the HT processor I'm using - 2-300 calls a day at most right now) and if you don't like HT, you can always turn it off.
