well, just as a small example, a single CPU 2GHz Pentium machine with 1GB RAM works reasonably well with 30-40 vservers, each one running sshd, apache, php, postfix and mysql ... a dual CPU 1.5GHz machine with 2GB RAM can provide shelter for about 60-80 vservers, with good responsiveness ... a test patch for 2.4.23-pa3 can be found at http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/patch-2.4.23-pa3-vs1.22.diff (tools need some tweaking ...) > > regarding vPARs, I didn't know that they work > > for Linux yet, can you give some hints on that? > > Search for "vPARs" on www.hp.com if you want more details > on HPUX vPARs support. heard of it for HPUX, and it seems that XEN is somewhat compareable to that, but that didn't answer my question: are they available for Linux or 'just' for HPUX?
