Hi!
I finally got my home network up and running, although there's plenty
of fine tuning left to do. I have SuSE 5.3 (2.0.35 kernel) running on a
machine with an AMD 5x86 133 processor (a VIP motherboard).
I've got a Mediaone cable modem, with IP forwarding through a firewall.
I understand that slower processors can be used as a server with little,
if any, penalty on responsiveness. As I understand it, the CPU isn't much
involved, and all the data is passing through the same size "pipes".
My problem is this. In accordance with trusted guidance, I have
various forms of logging on, and although performance may not be impacted on
account of the processor and ethernet cards, with everything being logged to
disk, Internet access does seem to be slower.
Is there some way to reduce/avoid the constant disk writes without
compromising security?
Thanks.
Stan Koper
