Hi, Well, in terms of Unix/Linux and 8 Way server - I think the kernel 2.6.x could do a great job (you might want to try the upcoming SuSE 9.1 or Redhat's RHAS 3.0)..
As for DB - you have 2 choices which are really good with 8 way machines - either IBM's DB/2 or Oracle. I don't have any info regarding Sybase port and 8 way utilization.. Hope this helps, Hetz On Saturday 27 March 2004 09:40 pm, Dan Kenigsberg wrote: > A company I know has a complicated distributed application with strong > reliance on Sybase database.
