I have a box running NetBSD xen i386, with RAID-1 (raidframe) dual SATA
disks, 4G ram, and a wm(4). I am running
apache/svn/mod_wsgi/trac/postresql. This works fine, but trac is too
slow.
I am thinking about buying more hardware to speed this up. Cost is not
that important, but lack of grief is very important. I would run NetBSD
5, and probably not run xen, but it might be easier to migrate the old
domU with xen.
I am looking at
Dell PowerEdge 2900 III
2 x quadcore xeon
8GB ram
PERC 6/i controller
4 20G SATA
dual BCM 5708
which will be about $2500. Will this work out of the box with
NetBSD/amd64 5.0 release
mfi(4)
bge(4)
and I will have no trouble? (I am not going to run X11 and don't care
about that.)
If that hardware is trouble, alternate suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks,
Greg
