Seem to work fine here. I am running three Xeon Netfinity Servers X250 series. 2 have the 2.4.18 kernel running with ext3 while one is just an almost default install of Redhat. None of them had any problems so far. But, for the price/performance the dual P-III 1G would be better. > How does L

One thing, I would not go with a Xeon, only if I was planning a quad then perhaps. When you run many concurrent processes, the cache utilization goes down since you do so much context switching. Granted that recent kernels have improved much, but since you still dont have fully associative cache

Hi Patrick I'd go for the Faster Xeon then. The dual P3 will never run faster than 1Gig but by the sounds of it you can always plug in more 2.2Gig Xeons :-) With regards to Linux on the Xeon, at worst you will be able to run the standard kernel and still get much more speed than the same clock sp

Hi Patrick Not sure on Linux Kernels for the Xeon, but a few packages don't run the best on dual processor systems. From what I understand, bind 8 will run on dual processor but won't ever use the second processor, so in this case the faster single processor system would be my choice. However a
