Hi all, I would like to put together a hosting setup for a rails site. I am expecting 300,000 page views a day ranging from static content to more db intense inventory results pages. I am planning 1 MySQL server, 2 Mongrel App servers, and 1 Apache web server (to front my setup). My questions are: 1) Which OS''s are recommended? I was thinking FreeBSD or a linux dist. 2) What kind of hardware would be best for my setup? Beefy web and db servers and lighter mongrels etc...? Grateful for any help. -northband --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Great thanks. I am going to cluster some machines this week to experiment. Got a pile of crappy PIII''s to test on. -Northband On Jan 29, 1:33 pm, "Richard Luther" <richard.lut...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Url was cut off try thishttp://tinyurl.com/2rwqm3 > > On Jan 29, 9:57 am, "Richard Luther" <richard.lut...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > Check out the setup Robot Co-op hashttp://www.robotcoop.com/articles/2006/10/10/the-software-and-hardware- > > that-runs-our-sites > > > On Jan 29, 9:28 am, "northband" <northb...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi all, > > > > I would like to put together a hosting setup for a rails site.
