Hi All!
The problem is that Ubuntu's installer has very poor support for
setting up RAID during installation. We could set up the partitions
and RAID using the console and then install, but that is going to be
painful when doing a dist-upgrade.
Also, there is no support for Intel's firmware SWRaid implementation
in Ubuntu. I've been through the forums etc and its all flaky at best.
Fedora supports SWRaid, fakeraid, as well as Linux's own swraid, out
of the box.
Anyone has experience setting up Ubuntu on Intel Server Boards?
Fedora is giving me pain on the graphics front, but that is immaterial
with a server. If anything, it will discourage users from directly
logging on the console, which is a good thing.
Regards,
Saurabh

We are trying to configure a high end server for our thin-client lab and
our
consultant advises us to go fr Fedora instead of Ubuntu. The reason is
that
Ubuntu server operating system can not take advantage of all of the high
end
capabilities of the hardware. Does any one have any experience in this and
advise us one way or the other.
The configuration of the server is as follows and it will support 60 thin
clients.
1. Enterprise Server ES5500
Intel Server Board S5500BC
Dual Xeon 5506 – Quad Core
8 GB DDR3 ECC RAM
Dual 500 GB SATA Enterprise HDD
ES55002855
