I read the post placed at Apple Discussions. It says "crap out and KPs my machine"
I'm not a native english speaker, but isn't "crap" an offensive word? If so - many companies, including mine, have policies about offensive language on user forums. It might be the reason for removal.
You can also go WOT with the left foot gently pressing the brake. The guy behind will brake instinctively, while you pull away. They will get the message.
I run a dynamic (auction) website with 240Mb/s peak traffic. However, I got there by 5 years of removing bottlenecks. Still running on Apache/PHP and MySQL (~60 servers).
To start from zero, I recommend: 1. Do a lot of testing. Try Microsoft Stress Test - a free tool to record macros on IE and replay them on several machines simultaneously, simulating 100s of clients.
2. Redundancy. Use LVS and heartbeat for load balancing and failover. Use database replication as well.
I live in Poland. Thinkgeek won't sell to us. God know why. From time to time we write down what we need (T-shirts mostly, totals a few hundred $) and ask our friend in Germany to purchase them for us, then send.
We're using it in production since gamma. Our site delivers over 2.5 mln pageviews per day. Database size is about 25GB.
Major differences compared to 3.x: - Row level locking - no more glitches on big updates - Instant crash recovery thanks to InnoDB - Hot backup ($400) - Query cache: Queries Avg/Sec: 388.45 Cache Hits Avg/Sec: 108.04 Ratio: 27.81%
Agreed. In my opinion the guy should have waited at least a month before writing the article.
I own a G4 Powerbook for over a year and it's pure Debian since few months.
Issues I had: HFS behaves differently than 'normal' unix filesystems, while UFS incredibly slow compared to the one on BSDs./etc is like magic and there's no support for Polish locale.
I love MacOS X. It's beautiful, functional and generally the best OS I've ever used.
However, it doesn't support Polish fonts nor locale. Ineed to write Polish text with proper national characters. After a few months of hacking and struggling with MacOS I installed Linux, which turned out to be a better sollution for me.
After I got sick of trying to get Polish locale to work in MacOS X, I decided to go with Linux on my TiBook.
Tried Mandrake, LinuxPPC, Suse and Debian.
Mandrake was easy to install, but a nightmare in maintenance (rpm craziness).
LinuxPPC and Suse just didn't seem right, since I'm a BSD freak. Debian suited me best. It's well organized, clear and simple. With apt-get I'm always up to date with PPC packages. Installation is only a tiny bit trickier than on a PC.

Slashdot title suggests lab testing - special environment, procedures and so on. TFA is nothing like that - just a summary of features and prices.
So far, the only serious test of MySQL I have seen is jAppServer2002.
I expect TPC-C results for MySQL to be published in 2006, unless Oracle bought Innobase only in order to kill it.

2. More control over text zooming
...if one can call that a shortcut key.
Can zoom text to any size. IE only supports five sizes and has no shortcut keys that I could determine.
