[SLUG] CentOS - dual AMD MP System

[Kenneth Armstrong, White Property Group P/L]

Hi everyone,   Well forgive me if this is a basic newbie question. I am about to embark on building up a new file/mail server for our small office. I currently have redhat 8 running on an 8yr old PII 350 with 380M ram – and its just not coping well anymore.   The new server will recycle my old (recently superseded) workstation   Dual processor with 2 x AMD MP 1800’s (Tyan s2466n motherboard) 2 Gb Ram It has a 60Gb ide drive and is getting 2 new 160Gb Ide’s with a PCI Raid controller card   I’m moving to CentOS 4 for this build   I am confident with installing the server OS   My question I have not been able to answer yet is confirming that the CentOS build will support & use the dual AMD MP’s   Any other tips / recommendations would be appreciated   The mail server app is called “InsightServer” by Bynari (from Dallas texas) it’s pretty stable once its running properly (that took a bit to start with), however the beauty is it gives you close to 100% MS exchange server functionality at simply an annual maintenance & upgrades fee – outlook connects pretty seamlessly with it.   File serving I have been using Samba   We have about 20G of critical file data & our mailboxes run to around 15- 20G   Thanks for any comments       Project: Subject: Yours faithfully White Property Group Pty Ltd Kenneth Armstrong B.Arch Ph 3852 6436 Fx 3852 5922 e [EMAIL PROTECTED]   IMPORTANT NOTICE: CONFIDENTIALITY AND LEGAL PRIVILEGE This email is intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain legally privileged and confidential information.
