I hope this is not too far off topic (maybe its considered on topic [I hope]).
I need help configuring a database server. We have $6000 to spend. The server will be running debian stable (maybe squeeze by the time we're ready to go) and mysql. We have databases for spamassassin bayesian rules, drupal, moodle, imp (webmail), and our own private data. Our private data is pretty small with the biggest table containing under 10,000 records. We do have a table with about 4,00 PDF docs in a blob field. I think we can get a machine with a quad core, 32 Gb of RAM, and 300 Gb disk for under $6000. But I'm confused about disk. I would think disk pspeed would be fairly important. How can I configure a machine with a fast disk? What are my options from Dell in that regard? _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
