Hi Chris!
The server:
- Hardware SCSI RAID 1
- no LVM2
- no SATA
- The motherboard:
product: SE7501BR2
vendor: Intel
version: A95686-506
The backup will be stored in data tapes.

Sorry.
This is better:
I'm installing gentoo - kernel 2.6.x in a server with the specifications
above. This will be an apache + php 5.0 + mysql 4.1 server. The server
will be instaled on an internal network.
no problems there so long as php5 and mysql are stable enough for you
(which they should be by now although msql in portage still at 4.0)
2 x Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.66GHz
don't know how much data you're actually storing, but opterons perform
better at DB than xeons, but this is still a powerful system
2GB RAM
get as much ram as you can. if you're making lots of mysql transactions
store as much as you can in ram rather than from hdd.
2 HD SCSI 36GB RAID 1
software or hardware raid? LVM2?
1 HD IDE 80 GB
need to be hot swappable? SATA? what about external USB? can you afford
downtime? is this your only backup?
what mainboard are you using? PSU?

Geisel,
It's unlikely that someone would take the time to analyze your new computer
system and make blind suggestions. You'd have better luck asking a specific
question, preferably after doing some research of your own. See
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Secondly, extracting some header information from your message:
X-Filtering-Reason: No text/plain message body was present.
X-Filtering-Reason: The message contained data that was of an illegal content
type.
X-Karma: -2
and after briefly scanning your message (in unrendered markup form), here are
a few suggestions:
- Send your mail in plain text format. Many of the Gentoo developers and users
on this mailing list can read HTML text without having it rendered, but
they're more likely to simply send your message on an instantaneous trip to
the trash; many mail filters will do this automatically (mine included).
- Don't waste message space by sending virtual business cards (the "illegal
content type" mentioned in the second filtering header). If you need to
provide information about yourself, add a web address to your signature; save
us the trouble of looking at data that's of no interest. If someone wants
more information, they'll search the web or visit the website that you've
listed in your signature.
- Be concise. Basic information about the computer is useful. A raw dump of
data, spanning your entire device subsystem, is not. This is also, from a
security standpoint, potentially unwise.
