FYI, my recollections based on when I had done a few tests on moof previously: moof was much faster than Solaris, but on par with a modest pentium that I had at the time. As the number of projects Gump grew to support grew, I had to upgrade my machine to keep up.
And despite the promises of write once, run everywhere, there were some failures on moof that I did not see on Linux machines.
like what? [just curious, not confrontational]
In many cases, these needed advocates to get people who are responsible for this software to care.
True
It is worth noting that gump will run a number of tests, so from time to time you will find projects have tests that use well known ports (like 8080).
ouch. we plan to be running servlets on moof, that's for sure and 8080 is very likely to be already used on that machine (even if we can install the servlet engine in some other port, since it's going to be proxypassed anyway)
The ideal would be a dedicated machine. Linux preferably, but definately not Solaris.
I'm all for a dedicated box. Sam, we have hardware and bandwidth donated by Sun and Apple, maybe IBM could join and donate a beefy linux machine for Gump runs?
I'm sure that would be highly appreciated here.
