There are also some serious performance issues with I/O. Xen is a much

ESX is a completely different beast than workstation, or GSX for that matter.
Good:
- Very, very stable
- The only real vmware software designed for server apps
- Performance VM QoS for disk, cpu, network, etc
- Easily run 30-40 VM's on a strong box w/ good mem
- Deals with lots of NIC's assi

Unfortunately it has to be vmware. Xen is excellent fro many things, but
this ESX server is considerably different to most things. Anyways, aside
from that the choice of product has been made. Just not the decision to
go with it. So that's what this is for. Some real life feedback.

Hi there, thanks for getting back to me.
basically, What I was wanting to know is actual hands-on experience.

I must say that I agree with Ciaran on this particular point. The
current standards that tell you where to put things is lucicrous. A
file system is NO different than a piece of code. The whole thing
should be manageable by standardized VARIABLES not hard coded
standards. Could you imagine how

In a sense why i ask, gentoo preloaded would not intrest me.
I would like to see things like IBM supports / recommends gentoo-sources-2.6.x.
or tested with these CFLAGS with this processor.
Or emerge ibm-pixy-dust that would magically 'heal' my server...

Gentoo pre-loaded? Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
Seriously though, I too work with xSeries, as well as IBM desktops, and
I've loaded Debian, Gentoo and half a dozen other distros on them
without incident, as well as pre-Fedora Red Hat and RHEL clones. Left to
my own devices (pun intended)
I'm not a lawyer, even in the USA. Maybe it's different in Germany, but
here in the USA, the relationships between for-profit and not-for-profit
organizations are highly regulated. IBM can (and has) given hardware or
sold hardware at lower prices to educational institutions. IBM has made

I was just going to say something similar, although I'm not an employee
of IBM. Gentoo's parent organization is non-profit, and IBM is a
for-profit international corporation. That means, at least in the USA,
that any such agreement would need to be negotiated and approved by what

IBM has already been kind enough to donate some hardware to us. It has
yet to arrive at our hosting facility at OSU but I imagine that is only
a matter of time. Once the hardware is in place the ppc64 team (which is
mostly made up of IBM employees btw) will look into this further.

First of all there are a lot of questions to answer:
- Who can do the certification?
- What must be done to become certified?
- What hardwaretypes will IBM offer?
- Will the hardware stay at IBM or somewhere else?
Aside all IBM customers should request support for Gentoo from IBM because they'll

This means it would be officially supported to run Gentoo on IBM Hardware. This would give Gentoo a status like SUSE, Redhat or Debian.
This could be the first step to become a supported plattform for IBM software products.

Hello,
i just returned from a meeting with IBM which was about getting support for Gentoo Linux (hardware and software). The people from IBM told me that it's possible for Gentoo to become officially supported on IBM server hardware (xSeries, pSeries and zSeries).
They told me about their hardwa
I thought about this, but not wanting to depend on gentoolkit makes
using equery for example a little awkward.
This, I'm sure isn't fully feature-rich yet - and something like this
will be the next addition to go in.
