Hi all,
Regarding the comments I received, we decided to use following configuration for server.
The server is connected on the intranet. It will run Zope, PostGresSQL (because I don't know if SyBase new versions will be free too) on Linux, RedHat 6.0
We've about 2000 Pc's which can have access to Zope OS are Macintosh or Windows
About 150 (at the moment PowerMacs, later on NT) will run intensive queries on the server. These 150 should get the results very fast.
About 500-600 will ask less intensive requests.
The server has the privelage that it may be down for some time. So no expensive HD systems. However, the data is important and needs to be backuped. How much data?
Specs :
Pentium II : 400-450 Mhz Memory : 256 MB SDRAM (probably ECC) Hard-disk : >25GB
Backup :
* Now: Data doesn't change too much, we also need to make CD demonstrations : Well, the problem here is, that CD demonstrations would have to include python, Zope, etc. included, and would need to startup a ZOPE Server at the PC that is doing the demonstration, right?
HP CD Rewriter (Does someone know about compatibility problems of these writers with Linux RedHat 6.0?) See the Linux documentation project, CD Writing HOWTO, it includes an link to the cdrecord homepage.
* Later, when system needs to be frequently updated ( > 1, 1.5 year from now)
Does someone knows some supported backup systems for RedHat 6.0? tar? Additional benefit: Portable to all other Unixes ;)
