After 2 days in Microsoft HELL with my SQLsvr databases, I'm ready to rob the piggy 
bank and build a new linux mysql server.   Here's my problem:  I have, at present, two 
rather large databases.  (A: 4Million records in one table, 15 Million in another; B: 
1.5Million and 5Million)  The databases are relatively static.  That is, they they are 
updated by batch processes twice per year or so.  They are realatively well 
normalized.  (I'd say well, but that would be bragging. :) 

The business is a "harvest type" of operation,  I ignore them for months then beat 
them to death for 120 days.  


I'm not rich, but what hardware and distro do you experts suggest?   (My current Win2K 
server is a dual p3-650, 1gb with the databases on 2 36gb U160 10K drives. )   I've 
got no problem moving the drives out of that system (especially since I just bought a 
new one...)    -- (I'd put my redhat 8 on it this afternoon, except it also runs my 
exchange server and that's a different migration...)
