Ralf -- > Novell Web Server Pushes Envelope > > Novell, Inc. reached a SPECweb96 benchmark of 1639 running > intraNetWare 4.11 on a single processor Compaq ProLiant 3000. I saw this in Internet Alert, an e-mail newsletter. Since we know FreeBSD excells as a webserver under load, this is our opportunity to set up to shoot some crows out of the sky. I don't personally like ProLiant servers, but let's see if we can approximate their hardware and tune our software -- out of the box, no source-code tweaks -- to dominate this SPEC. Have you looked at it? 1) Obtain SPECweb96 test guidelines 2) Obtain equivalent test platform hardware 3) Configure FreeBSD for max serving performance 4) Configure Apache for max serving performance 5) Run test 6) Promote results heavily!!!!! My best hardware is a PPro180 with 64MB, so I don't have a new enough machine, but I think this is exactly the kind of thing we FreeBSD advocates need to do to promote FreeBSD -- and get the IW's and NWW's and Byte's to acknowledge us. If we've got TBDOSITW, let's _prove_ it. -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
