I had several problems running TSL3 / kernel 2.6 on compaq proliant machines, due to RAID drivers problems. No problem w/ TSL 2.2 / kernel 2.4
Nevertheless, I would agree on running a 2.6 based distro, expecially if you wish to use newer RAID controllers. I've been also told that the 2.6 kernel scheduler is somehow better, resulting in a more responsive system, but I never found that big difference. IBM is very good, its ips.(k)o raid driver is very welll supported. No experience on DELL, but a friend of mine (working on heavy loaded dell servers) runs linux (RHEL) on dell 1850 w/o a glitch Ivan Date: Fri, 04 May 2007 13:25:52 +0200 From: Vidar Tyldum Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: TSL 2.2 & Hardware To: 2bujo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" 2bujo: > Hi, > i'm searching for a new server, my dealer suggest me a > > Xeon Dual Core 5110 1.6 Ghz/1066Mhz/4MB > Raid controller 64 bit SAS 128 MB > and so on...
