We are about to make our first foray into linux SMP, and we are looking at
the Dell PowerEdge 2300 server line (Dual PII, 100MHz bus).
The SMP FAQ is (understandably) not perfectly up to date with new PC
releases, so although the 2200 is mentioned, I was wondering if I should
worry about any problems with the newer 2300.
Apparently, SCSI support is integrated with BOTH Adaptec "AIC-7890
Ultra-2/LVD SCSI" AND "AIC-7860 Ultra/Narrow SCSI-3". Will these be OK for
Linux? (Or should that question go to the Kernel list???)
Also, there is a choice of 100Mbit NICs between "Intel Pro 100B" and "3Com
3C905". Any preferences between them for linux support, SMP behaviour, or
just general behaviour?
Thanks very much in advance.
