They seem to also have way to high of an overhead for what you get.
If we actually wanted the things that we could get with that
overhead, then maybe, but it seems like a complete waste. While
we're talking about something like this (not that it's going to
change anything) my personal preference would be to see either
Slackware or OpenBSD on one of the servers; of course Debian is as
good as any, and it's a very nice system, no reason really to change
it that I see.
I don't know enough about Ubuntu to have much of an opinion of it vs.
Debian. I would rather stay away from Slackware altogether.
OpenBSD is
nice where it fits, however one major problem is its SMP support is
immature. The only machine of the three we will have soon at Peer1
where
it makes sense to me to have OpenBSD would be on Abulafia, which is
intended as a basic login/shell server. I would be happy to redo
Abu with
OpenBSD when it comes time to install it if the admins would like
this--I
have a good deal of experience with it. Any comments?
Aaah, right, SMP. :-) Hehe. I think a pretty strong case could be
made for using OpenBSD as the shell server OS. I would be willing to
help with doing this as well if anyone wanted it. I would feel nice
and comfy there, but I don't know if anyone else thinks this is a
good idea?
