Hi all, One more argument for a debian based XS: Debian supports various non-x86 architectures, which are good candidates for a compact, affordable, and low power XS server:
- The mipsel based fuloong mini ( http://www.lemote.com/english/fuloong.html ) engineered by the chinese Jiangsu Lemote Technology Corporation limited ( www.lemote.com ). Debian is fully supported. The installed distribution (rays, http://openrays.org/ , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunwah_Linux_(rays_Linux_Distribution) ) is debian based. The people at lemote are very supportive. The fuloong units I have received have a 120GB hard drive and 512 MB memory. - The powerpc based Bubba 2 ( http://excito.com/bubba/technical-specifications.html ) engineered by Excito in Sweden ( www.excito.com ). They are very supportive too and are ready to assist us. The distribution is debian too. - etc. Best regards Samy Quoting Pia Waugh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi all, > > I have a few projects I am helping support and was thinking about doing an > Ubuntu based XS option.
