Etch will be released any day now. You will save yourself much grief if
you just start off with Etch than starting with Sarge and trying to
upgrade to Etch. There have been some very major changes.
Which means Security updates for Sarge will stop soon right?
And I will need to upgrade all the Sarge servers on the net soon :-)

I would recommend yes. Etch already has security support, which is
usually the biggest issue when choosing something for production. Other
than that, it is quite stable, including newer versions of Apache and
PHP, which should give you better performance.
Thankyou will go for Etch then.
I already use it for development purposes but this would be the first
time to put it in production :-)

Actually, you are right. My response was too terse. Having / on LVM,
while it has become easier to manage, is not something that I am yet
comfortable with. If your install has some sort of major catastrophic
failure, having / on LVM is just another complication. In your case, I
would recommend /boot (ext2) and / (ext3 or xfs) be each their own
non-LVM partitions. Everything else should be on LVM. Also, I forgot
to mention that you should only use XFS if the system is on a good UPS.
alright will go for ext2 and ext3 on parttions and put all on LVM
except / and /boot.
I did hear lot of Good reports about ext3 on LVM.
So that would be risk free.
again I usually put ext3 for /boot.
is there a Special reason to put ext2 for /boot?
Now Comes the major part :-)
What parameters should i tune from the Default "apache2-mpm-prefork"
on Etch to take care of the Digg effect?
Thankyou so much
kind regards
