Opteron 1212 w/ 4 GB RAM
We are getting a new web server - Singe Dual Core Opteron 1212 w/ 4 GB RAM It will have - 2 x 250 GB SATA gmirror RAID 1 We will run - - Apache 2.x - PHP 5.x - PostgreSQL 8.x - Postfix 2.x We have a couple of questions- If we are more interested in stability than in features and performance - a) Is FreeBSD 8.0 the right for us, or shall we rather go for FreeBSD 7.x? b) Is i386 or amd64 the right way?

Iv 8.0, amd64 if there's chance you'll ever put more ram in the system. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I vote for 8.0. and amd64 even if you stay at 4GB Sam Fourman Jr. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Pretty much by definition, the stability of a .x release is better than that of a .0 release. That said, I haven't heard of major issues with 8.0, so either is likely to be fine. b) Is i386 or amd64 the right way? For a machine with 4GB of RAM, amd64 is likely to be a better choice.
