I'm thinking about purchasing a dual Opteron server to run on Sarge. This is only my second server purchase. My first server runs Debian Woody on a single Petium 4, 2.8 GHz.
Can someone give me an idea of what kind of performance gain I would see? I've tried hunting around for benchmark comparisons but haven't had success finding any because the processors target much different markets. Now for a more Debian specific question. I read the AMD 64 how-to at https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html. They talk about "the quick way" of running 32-bit binaries on a 64 bit system and installing a "Debian IA32 chroot system." Can someone tell me why I would do one over the other? Thanks. -- Dondley Communications http://www.dondleycommunications.com Communicate or Die: American Labor Unions and the Internet http://www.communicateordie.com
