OK, let me add my 2 cents here. On Red Hat I've had trouble with reiser in powerfail situations. Not too much, but there has been incidents. I haven't tried Fedora, and to be honest, I simply don't see the point as the bad things I've heard about it far outweighs the good things. On SUSE I've had spectacular power failures and fluctuations and some clients refuse to get a UPS - even with power failures in some areas averaging four or five a day and getting worse as the winter approaches. One such client is more down than up, their server was SUSE 8.0 Pro, I upgraded it to 9.2 in January. They run everything off it, the two 7200rpm IDE discs are running at near full capacity (kernel based raid-1). Both 8.0 and 9.2 has reiser, and I have not had a single corruption. So I guess it depends on the implementation and what sort of options they the distro uses, but that one single case is enough to sold me. In any ways, for this big imap implementation, I'll have decent UPS and backup generators at my disposal. -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
