Good informative post. I'm considering a move to an Atom based dedicated server, so this is interesting to read. With respect to your comments on Linux, I switched my dedicated server from XP to Ubuntu about 6 months ago. Performance is noticeably better on an old Pentium-D with only 512MB on memory. On occasion I use our MacBook (newer 13" aluminum model) as the server and I notice no difference in performance. This was my first foray into Linux / Ubuntu, and certainly took a bit of googling to figure it all out, but in the end not that hard to do. I'd recommend you give it a go if you're not satisfied with current performance. -- ajkidle 2x SBR, Boom, Radio, iPeng ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ajkidle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73602 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
