All-
From my own observations, most of you seem to be running RH6.2 as
your distro of choice. Generally these come with 2.2 kernels, as we all
know. What I'd like to find out is how many of you are actually running
2.4.x series kernels?
My personal reccomendation for 'Best performance' when it comes to
kernels / distros is a Red Hat 7.x (NOT 7.0) based distro, with a hand
compiled version of at least the 2.4.9 (2.4.10 is out) kernel.
The reason being is simple, speed and stability. I have a few CF5
machines I have running with mild load against them and I never have to
reboot them. Well, I also lock all my variables, and it's not doing alot
(just some cffiles and cfexecutes with user vars).
For the most part, alot of strange activity that I've seen can be
traced to both the kernel and the glibc libs.
I haven't had a chance to check out the latest Glib release, but I
have high hopes (there are over 100 bugs open in the glibc bug system in
relation to pthreads, among other things that CF relies off of).
Meanwhile, how many of you are running on 2.4x kernels?

We usually avoid the situation where too much memory is used, since it slows
down the system very much.
We have a perl script which restarts CF before it uses more than approx. 80%
of the physical memory.
If I forget to install it, this happens:
CF grows and grows, then starts using up the swap space until users
get angry (because everything is really sloooooow) and I restart CF by hand.
So it maybe that on a very high usage level (including swap) it stabilizes
but I don't expect it.

Well, don't know what the question is about.
We have a rather complex Content Management System written in CF.
Hardware is a dual- P iii 650 MHz with 512MB RAM.
Kernel is a 2.2.16 with SMP support.
