Hello,
in our institute, we have an E250 and 5 SunRays. The E250 was sold as a
"workgroup server", a computer designed to serve the SunRays, but the X
window applications were always notably slow. Recently, it became real
pain to work on this machine locally (in graphic environment).
We are thinking about buying a new machine and we hover between another
Sparc, and Linux (x86-64) machine. We got an offer to buy two Sun
machines for the price of one and I want to ask you for your opinion.
The server should serve 5 users, where all users run an X-server,
desktop manager, Mozilla/Firefox, they may run OpenOffice, emacs with
huge files opened, and from time to time they may run a program which
makes busy one processor.
The offer includes these Sun Fire servers:
SF T2000 4core 1.0GHz, 8GB RAM, 2x73GB HD
SFV40z 2x852,4GB,1x73GB S3
SFV125,1x1Ghz,1GB,1x73GB,1xPSU
SFV210,2x1.34GHz,2GB,2x73GB
SFV215,1x1.5,1GB,1x73GB,1xPSU
SFV240,1x1.34GHz,512MB,1x73GB
SFV245,1x1.5,1GB,1x73GB,1xPSU
SFV245,2x1.5,2GB,2x73GB,2xPSU
Thank you.
Hana
