I am about to lease another server to be a backup web/mail server with a replicated mysql database. The current live server is a dual Xeon 2.8Ghz. Would I do better to get another Xeon server or an Opteron based server? My concerns are compatibility of the database and the SSL certificate currently running on the Xeon machine. Are these concerns unfounded? TIA Mike

Hi, I''m building Xen on a 64bit machine, then using the xen.gz from that on a 32bit host (so that it can boot 64bit guests). This works fine. However I note that after booting xen.gz from 3.2-testing /proc/cpuinfo has different flags. 3.2.1 is the same. I have not yet tried 3.3.x. 3.2.0 results in: flags : fpu de tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush

Sorry to ask here but never used a Xeon before. Tomorrow i need to install Centos 4.3 on a Quad Xeon (not dual core). Xeon is a 32 bit or 64 bit system? I already have centos 4.3 x86_64 on a Dvd and im not sure if i need to download another ISO or can I use the one i have? Again, sorry to ask. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Erick Perez

Dear list, I am planning to buy a new server -because the new Core2 Duo based Xeons (5100 series) are considerably faster in some scenarios than Opteron machines while not beeing more expensive, I would like to hear some real-world experiences from people who have installed CentOS 4.3 or 4.4 on such a setup. Specifically: CPU: 2x Intel Xeon 5100 2GHz Board: Intel S5000 chipset RAID5:

I'm putting together a spec for a big(ger) memory x86_64 host, and I hope some of you-all can help. I'm looking for success stories of hardware that folks are using in production environments, preferably with CentOS 4, with more than 4GB of memory per CPU. I know there are lots of mobos out there that can do this, but I'm looking for what folks really have running. Call me

Hi, I am planning to buy a new PC for computing simulations in R under Linux. I was searching the web/mailing list-archives for useful hints about the "optimal" choice of hardware - surprisingly I found no recent topics. As far as I know, R doesn't use threads, so I think that there should be no benefit in choosing a dual-processor machine. So the remaining affordable choices

I am unable to boot Dom0 on my IBM eServer BladeCenter HS20, type 8843, EMT64 blades. I have read reports that Dom0 boots on Opteron boxes, but on my EMT64 blades, it does not. Has anyone else encountered this problem on EMT64 hardware? Here are the errors I am getting: This is on a SLES 9 box, gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux): kernel (hd0,0)/boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=256000 com2=19200,8n1

hello people we will be buying dual xeon processor for our server what iso image should i download? thank you very much.

Hello! Please, help me, I''m totally lost choosing basic budget server for XEN. The variants are Sun (X2200 M2 or Sun X2250 M2) or maybe HP Proliant DL160 G5p. Or maybe some IBM server? Which X2200 configuration will perform better, two Opteron dual-core 22xx or single quad-core 23xx? Which one performing better nowadays, Opteron or Xeon? I know that 2-3 years ago Opteron was the

After doing some reading about 64-bit systems and software I am still somewhat uncertain about some things. I have a Dell Dimension XPS 400 with a dual core Intel Pentium D 940 (3.2 GHz) and 4 Gb of memory. I currently dual boot the system with XP Professional and Ubuntu 8.04 (32 bit). If I simply install Ubuntu 8.04 (64 bit) on this system will it run the 64 bit linux version of R? I would

Chip Clock HT Cache Bus Speed --------------------------------------------------------- 5080 3.7 GHz YES 2MB 1066 MHz 5160 3.0 GHz NO 4MB 1333 MHz Does the .7 GHz and HT worth more then 4MB cache and higher bus speed? The application is VoIP so there is not a lot of IO so I would not think Bus Speed would matter. I am finding mixed information on HT, some say it is great, others say it

We (a small college with about 3000 active accounts) are currently in the process of moving from UW IMAP running on linux to dovecot running on a cluster of 3 or 4 new faster Linux machines. (Initially using perdition to split the load.) As we are building and designing the system, I'm attempting to take (or find) benchmarks everywhere I can in order to make informed decisions and so

We are currently running R under Windows 2000 on a server box running with 2 1.2 GHZ Intel Pentium III Processors. We would like to run this on a new computer running Linux and receive a significant speed increase over our current implementation. Could anyone provide some suggestions for a fast 64 BIT Intel based processor computer with a recommendation for memory and speed/type/number of

I am building a new system which will have a pair of dual-core Opterons and 16GB memory. Should I use kernel-smp or kernel-hugemem? I see that RH recommends the hugemem kernel if you have more than 16GB (and we may upgrade at some point, the MB supports 32GB). Any comments on this? The only difference that the descriptions show is the 4GB/4GB split with the hugemem kernel and I'm not quite

There are numerous tools like scons, make, ruffus, ant, rake, etc. that can be used to build complex pipelines based on task dependencies. These tools are written in a variety of languages, but I have not seen such a thing for R. Is anyone aware of a package available? The goal is to be able to develop robust bioinformatic pipelines driven by scripts written in R. Thanks, Sean

Hi All, I am using the script below to limit download rates and manage traffic for a certain IP address and testing the results using iperf. The rate that iperf reports is much higher than the rate I have configured for the HTB qdisc. It''s probably just some newbie trap that''s messing things up but I''m buggered if I can see it. The following script is run on the

I have a data set in which I have 5000 repeated measures on 6 subjects over time (varying intervals, but measurements for all individuals are at the same times). There are two states, a "resting" state (the majority of the time), and a perturbed state. I have a continuous measurement at each time point for each of the individuals. I would like to determine the "state"
