In my experience the installation process which usually takes 25-45 minutes on an IBM MPro with SATA disks on any other version takes about 1 hour and 30 min with RHEL2.1. Writing 1G file takes more then 5 minutes and it has load average of about 4-5 during the process. Disk write performance is 3.5 M/s instead of 55M/s Download bonnie++ from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bonnie/ and find the disk performance. The above is what has been observed with RHEL2.1 (with any Update) on IBMs. I just shared my experience; you probably have a different model, different kernel etc.. > > And what is your definition of "free" ? In this context "free" means you don't have to pay a single penny. RH7.x, RH8.0, RH9.0 and Fedora are free, you can download fedora from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/iso/ I couldn't find the link for RH7.x, 8.0 or 9.0, probably because redhat has declared EOL for them. However Redhat's enterprise versions namely: RHEL2.1, 3.0 and 4.0 are license based. You need an RHN login account in order to download the ISOs. > > rrs > - -- > Ritesh Raj Sarraf > RESEARCHUT -- http://www.researchut.com > Gnupg Key ID: 04F130BC > "Stealing logic from one person is plagiarism, stealing from many is > research". > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQFCJKYx4Rhi6gTxMLwRAqqUAJ0bgpinDuzDepASeH9GKwhKpAUy9gCbBDw7 > a1KvGBO/qPxiW/llgXm6rao= > =RH6y > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
