SS doesn't have problems with SMP systems on linux? I didn't knew
that. That's why I installed CS on my linux box. Should I try SS on
that box?
BTW, server is IBM xSeries 255 dual Xeon MP 2.8 GHz. with 10 Gig RAM,
around 1Tb SCSI disk. Right now I am running Firebird CS on it. Will
SS be faster? Also, I would appreciate if anyone can help me to get
most of firebird on this machine. Can anyone provide me with some
tips and tricks setting firebird CS (or SS if it will be faster)?
