4-Way Sun Fire V40z Reviewed

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday February 23, 2005 @02:58PM from the compile-faster dept.

Hack Jandy writes "Anandtech has a pretty thorough analysis of Sun's V40z 4-way Opteron server that fits in a 3U. Among some of the more noteable benchmarks include a 2 minute, 30 second Linux 2.6.4 kernel compile! Who would have thought only a few years ago that Sun would be the new champion of Linux and AMD?"

You would not want RHEL on a server but you would install FreeBSD, which has had serious issues throughout its latest release cycle. I think you spend more time reading about these products than using them.
