> 2. If so - what box do we really need? As for the hardware, I would suggest Sun Microsystems line of "Galaxy" servers. There are several models available, the smallest one starting at $745 (without HDD, CD/DVD). You can choose between one or two CPUs etc... Check out: http://store.sun.com/CMTemplate/CEServlet?process=SunStore&cmdViewProduct_CP&catid=48589 To find out what system configuration is the best for the task in question, it would be cool to have some data of the thinktux-server. What system is it, what configuration has it got? (Nos and speed of CPU, RAM, HDDs, Controllers etc...) What about the system load in detail? Not all the load is produced by the CPU, a high amount of kernel activities or I/O wait is most of the time more crucial to the responsiveness of a system. I'm just asking because the desired configuration can easily double the price of the server. For the disk configuration I think a simple mirror would be enough. Since money is a concern it would be good to keep some money in the pocket so that in case a disk dies it can be replaced. > 3. Are people willing to donate enough $ to make it happen? Yes. Setting up a paypal account we can send money to is a good idea. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
