Acer has some centers in the USA, and maybe they are interested in making their machines become "real server" :-) It would be a great pity if "Acer Altos 21000 server" can not run FreeBSD-SMP. A "server" without FreeBSD is not a "real(ideal) server" for me (and many others) :p Could anyone suggest some "high-end hardware" for running FreeBSD? My projects need *very-powerful* FreeBSDs using apache-php4-ssl + mysql to serve millions of users. However, we had some trouble choosing the "proper machines". We wish to buy the "right machine" for running FreeBSD-SMP with Pentium III 600 x 8(or even 16), 8(or even 16)G Ram. A least, we hope to find the right machine running FreeBSD-SMP with Pentium III 550 x 4, 4G Ram. It is said that "http://www.alltheweb.com/" runs FreeBSD on "Dell computer". Does anyone know the the detail hardware spec. of the "Dell computer"? Or, does anyone know what kind of machines are used by yahoo.com? By the way, "Acer ProStation 7000" is a good choice for "mid-end server" running FreeBSD-SMP -- <ProStation 7000> http://www.sertek.com.tw/aps7000-1.htm ahc0: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> rev 0x00 int a irq 11 on pci2.9.0 ahc0: aic7896/97 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs ahc1: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> rev 0x00 int a irq 11 on pci2.9.1 ahc1: aic7896/97 Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs 2 onboard SCSI channels da0 at ahc1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <SEAGATE ST318275LC 0001> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit) da0: 17366MB (35566480 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 2213C) Built-in i82559 ethernet chips (Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet): fxp0 fxp0: <Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet> rev 0x05 int a irq 10 on pci0.16 .0 Dual Pentium III 550, 1G Ram: world time =~ 30min (make -j20 world, mfs:obj) </ProStation 7000> Regards, woju To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
