I was just poking around on freshmeat's site thought that there about page was pretty interesting. It has a description of the hardware/software they run there server's on. It looked like a pretty decent set up. I was particularly impressed with there db servers.
2 SQL Database Servers:
VA Linux 3500
Quad Pentium III 550 Xeon (1024kb cache)
2GB and 3.6GB RAM
Mylex DAC960 RAID-5 (45GB) using 6 10,000RPM SCA HDDs
2 Intel EtherExpress Pro Fast Ethernet Cards
Red Hat Linux 7.1 (Seawolf)
MySQL 3.23.44
I think that those are still low end Xeon's, I think they go up to 2MB of cache. Those seemed like some pretty ideal specs.
Anyway the about page is just http://freshmeat.net/about/
