X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2007 16:21:54 -0000 I have a coloed box, OS on their now is ancient redhat 9.0, was thinking about new SMP support and mysql speed advancements in 7.0. I'd just hate to install 6.2 on it right now and thats way it stays for next 2-3 years if 7.0 is stable enough to use right now. I threw away freebsd boxes on 4.x branches because of SMP issues of it only using 1 processor for mysql etc, but I see alot has changed again. Server is a dell 2650, 8 gigs of ram, dual 3.2ghz xeon cpu's, 6 scsi drives. I use this box mainly for apache/php, mysql, qmail,bind, perl and asterisk c development time to time. If I download latest snapshot, cvsup latest 7release and just make world etc on it, would it be alright? I see the new scheduler for 7.0 had some nice benchmarks for mysql.
