Hello all.
I am building a new Firebird server and am rethinking my plan to load
Linux as my network admins prefer Win NT/2K. I am avoiding XP for
the moment until the .gdb problem is fixed. I would appreciate any
feedback insight etc... on my options here. I feel that Linux is the
best choice for uptime and performance, but I have not seen any
benchmarks to verify this.
My config:
AMD 1.6 Ghz
1 GB RAM
2 40 GB HD's
10/100 NIC etc.....
Should I go Linux ( RH 7.2 / SUSE 7.3) or Win NT or Win2K?
The machine will become a primary machine replacing a dual Celeron
500 w/384 MB RAM running RedHat 6.2 and Interbase 4.0. I have about
20 (soon to be almost 40) users hitting it all day long for about 2
yrs.
Thanks
