Hi List,
I have a modest budget (less than $4K) to purchase a server that I would like to run FreeBSD on. I am an educational customer so I can get a little bit of a discount.
I need a system that will act as a host for my subversion repository and as the 'lab' web server (mix of static and dynamic pages) for me and my students. I will also need to use the system to host MySQL and PostgreSQL databases for students when I teach database courses. On occasion, a little bit of number crunching (triangular mesh processing) is done but nothing too terrible.
I would like at least 4GB of RAM and at least two CPU cores. My storage needs right now are modest (10 GB) but I expect this to grow by at least 1 GB per semester.
Currently I'm eyeing a Sun Fire X4200 M2, HP ProLiant DL365 or a Dell 2950. If anyone has any feedback or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
