Re: Server hardware for Sarge
You would be well advised to steer clear of the DELL 1850 poweredge,
as it is clunky hardware and you cant even reach the ethernet ports
on the back without plugging in some funky extention cable. Bad
design.
Many SATA controllers built in to newer motherboards
arent supported until you get into the newer 2.6 kernels... if you
need sata on 2.4.xx, get the 3ware SATA controller, which is well
supported, and disable the motherboard SATA.
Be careful about running the absolute newest stuff with linux, as
drivers are not always availible. Better to buy last years' model
and save some $$ and have a better chance at linux compatibility.
I'm going to Demo the Sun Fire v20z next week, if you want sarge-on
-sun opteron info, follow up w/me later.
Good luck,
Matt
