I got my install complete about 25 minutes before they released the linux server... :(
I used vmserver and saw okay performance, but the free vmserver doesn't handle memory or CPU usage as nice as ESX. -D Scott Pettit wrote:
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hello all, Been a while since my last posting here... Has anyone experimented with running SRCDS in a VMware guest? I'm curious as to how you find the performance. In some brief testing this afternoon I configured: Host Ubuntu Feisty Guest Ubuntu Dapper (Feisty kept hanging during the install) Guest configured with one CPU only (my intention is to run two single CPU Guests on a dual core) and 512MB RAM assigned. VMware tools was installed in the guest OS. Hardware: P4D 2.8, 2GB RAM After directing some gamers at it they all reported that it performed really well, I was expecting quite a performance penalty due to virtualisation but it appears to be minimal. That said, I couldn't get the FPS very high (stuck around 30-40), though I'm presently recompiling the host and guest with 1000HZ kernels to see if this rectifies it. While I haven't done anything extensive as yet, it does appear to be a good option at first looks - so I guess the question is whether anyone is is doing/has tried this and what were your results on what hardware? -Scott -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
