I need a general purpose server that will do the following tasks: 1. Run Postfix and Courier-IMAP with Amavis-new/SpamAssassin 2. Run RT (from Best Practice), a very nice ticketing system that runs un= der Apache. 3. CVS server This server will serve about 3-10 people. Not many. I have found though t= hat RT needs a lot of horsepower to run fast, and as more people access RT sp= eed may be an issue. I have two servers that I can use for this purpose: 1. Dual PII 333Mhz with 512MB RAM and 40MB/sec SCSI disk. 2. AlphaPC 600Mhz with 512MB RAM and 40MB/sec SCSI disk. I have been benchmarking both servers using various benchmarks under ports/benchmarks. (I did notice that Bytebench doesn't finish on the Alph= a.) What is your general thoughts on which server will serve in this capacity= in the long-term? I am curious how you would rate the Alpha against this spe= cific Intel-based system. I have to admit that I'm new to the Alpha platform, and so I'm also just trying to get the general feel for what kind of Intel-based system would = be comparable to this particular Alpha. I know it's hard, if not impossible, to just say "X is better than Y."
