Most major vendors should offer servers with this support. If you are asking specs though, then you need to provide a lot more details on what the server will do. -- Digimer E-Mail: digimer at alteeve.com AN!Whitepapers: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org
what about looking in the archives? You are really not the first person asking this. Kai

If you are going to just run a firewall - the cheapest, slowest, smallest server you can buy will do fine. If you are going to support the newest 'Hot Thing(tm)' on the net and handle 500,000,000 web page views a day you are going to need heftier hardware. You did the equivalent of asking 'can someone give me some advice on buying a truck?' Before any possible answer can be given, the first question must be: What do you plan to do with it? -- Benjamin Franz -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

>Before any possible answer can be given, the first question must be: What >do you plan to do with it?You'r right, but I have to begin somewhere. This hardware is intended to be a terminal server for at least 40 users driven with LTSP.for BBx Pro-5 and Bbj applications Need fast and huge storage, 2 lan fast connexions. No intensive mail or web browsing, 1 or 2 outside (xtranet ) users; back-up will be on an SLR-100 tape drive The load for 20 users and for the last 6 years with RH9 is actually supported by a MOTHER BOARD : MSI KT-3 ULTRA DDR 333(3) CE (ATX form) CPU : AMD-2100 XP memory : 2 DDRam 333 (512MEG) for a total of 1024meg 1 scsi controller adaptec 29160 SCSI 3 hard disc SEAGATE CHETAH ULTRA SCSI-ULTRA-320 LVD (68 pin) It have been enough for that tme but users number is raising and by the way an upgrade of the computing capacity will be usefull. I checked recently for an ASUS S775 P5Q-VM G45 PCIE MOTHERBOARD with an INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q9550 2.83G/1333/12M/S775 with SATA hard disc no Raid I doesn't seem to be a server board and I'm not shure of that choice. --- Michel Donais
