It's typically a safer thing to be using the most generic kind of system configuration that you can, stipulated that it needs to be "powerful enough." Replication, by connecting a bunch of components together, throws in a pile of complications, so it's nice to have as few *other* complications as possible. (IBM HACMP - I'm looking at you! :-)) Assuming that this hardware has enough "oomph" for what you're planning to run on it, I don't foresee any particular problems. While the "VM" implies a bit of complication, that sort of thing seems to be fairly under control these days. Nothing leaps out at me as being an issue. -- select 'cbbrowne' || '@' || 'afilias.info'; Christopher Browne "Bother," said Pooh, "Eeyore, ready two photon torpedoes and lock phasers on the Heffalump, Piglet, meet me in transporter room three" _______________________________________________ Slony1-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slony.info/mailman/listinfo/slony1-general
