You can use any Linux distro you like because we suggest you to run binary versions downloaded from www.MySQL.com, and they are linked statically. The hardware is fine, disks are the bottleneck of any database, not the CPU. If the performance of the current system is fast enough for you - then newer system will not give you significant enhancement. -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Egor Egorov / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net <___/ www.mysql.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
