Thanks for the replies. For now I'm going to try it with Solaris 10 for a few reasons: 1.- I try to get the most of its 6 SCSI discs, and the documentation I found for Solaris (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4520) was much better than similiar one for Linux, including optimizations for various scenarios (write intensive vs read intensive, small vs large reads,...). 2.- I'm also interested in checking DTrace (http://users.tpg.com.au/adsln4yb/dtrace.html), that has got really good press in the media. 3.- Solaris Containers (similar to Xen, but again better documented than Xen). Anyway it's true that for a "Linuxer" like me Solaris is hard and even ugly (it took me one full day to setup IPs&DNSs). If I success I will post a resume for reference. --- Lennart Regebro <regebro@gmail.com> escribió:

I'm not sure how difficult it is to install Linux on this h/w but if you can, this will make life easier for you in many ways in addition to being easier to host Plone/Zope
Debian is supposed to run fine. Also OpenBSD has a sparc port which could be an alternative. And new CPU boards cost, like, nothing, so it could be a pretty cool server. -- Lennart Regebro, Nuxeo http://www.nuxeo.com/ CPS Content Management http://www.cps-project.org/ _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
