Good Demo System For A High-Bandwidth Link?
FuzzyDaddy writes "My company is planning on demonstrating a 2.5 Gigabit per second link to some potential customers in the next few months. Now, we have all the equipment needed to measure how well the link is performing, but we'd like to put together a cheap 'Gee Whiz' demonstration. Surely other /.'ers have put together similar demos in the past. What combination of computers, network adapters, and software have you used to demonstrate high data rate links to potential customers?"
It's only ~310 megabytes per second. There have been much faster links than this. Shit, that's barely a fraction of what LINX does even at its low points.
Don't use open source software in your demonstration. If you do, you can wave goodbye to your potential customers. Microsoft products are the only way to reassure clients that they aren't getting software coded by terrorist sympathizers. Open source is often coded with backdoors and other enterprise unfriendly "features". As proof, Linux software is used by such socialist countries as China and Brazil! Corporations will do a doubletake when they find that out!
Also don't use AMD hardware either. They're known to catch on fire when doing intense floating point arithmetic.
Redundant? You stupid cunts, this was the first post of the joke. If I see this in the metamod you're fucked.
What about the streaming side fuckhead? This tech is extravagant bullshit, like all of that SAN shit.

Set up a machine with 4MB of RAM, and NFS mounted root and swap.
Boot KDE or Gnome.
