Hi, Looking for some advice here especially practical ones faced. Situation: Have to start converting many servers (Rack mounted) from Rh 7.3 to either FreeBSD or Debian. Now someone did some name dropping and CentOS was added to the list.
The machines will have hardware RAID level 1 and 250 GB Hard Drives and 3.0 Ghz processors and 1-2 GB RAM. The advice sought is, 1) Which OS to go for ofcourse keeping in mind that there can be compatibility issues with the hardware for RAID. Any combination (specific models) known to work without a hitch? I am leaning towards Debian assuming the freeBSD 5.4 may have greater compatibility issues with the hardware. Am I right? 2) Instead of 250 GB sata drives, should be have smaller drives? Or, in other words, does the 250 GB drive inhibit performance? 3) Idea about costs? thank you. *********************************************************************** According to the theory of aerodynamics, a bumble bee cannot fly.
