Given that Apache 2.x can utilise threads as well as processes, does this mean that you can configure a large web server with, say "MaxSpareThreads 1000000" so that you can cope when you're slashdotted;-)?
Coming from the Unix world, I'm used to comparing machines based on their SPECint and SPECfp performance...
In general the SPEC people have done a better job being platform agnostic than some of the "miscellaneous" PC benchmarks.
Current benchmarks for Intel http://www.spec.org/osg/cpu2000/results/res2002q2/ cpu2000-20020506-01357.html
and AMD http://www.spec.org/osg/cpu2000/results/res2002q3/ cpu2000-20020701-01441.html
Keep in mind that results for more recent AMD CPUs are not shown. If you compare the AMD 2200 with a 2.2G P4 you'll have 734 v's 784, which gives some credence to AMD's claimed rating.
I'm glad to see a distribution that is releasing at "the right" time. RedHat, the normal distie of choice, if only because of it's market dominance, seems to have developed the knack of releasing just too early.
i.e. - gcc (where is v3.1)?
- mozilla (not v1)
- kde 3.0.0 (effectively a late beta)
etc...
What I really want is the latest, reasonably stable version of everything. i.e I want to be current but not bleeding edge.
They work by backing up all the files on each desktop that are "unique". Thus throughout your whole network only one copy of Win98, one copy of Office, one copy of the pr0n you have stashed and one copy of each document, spreadsheet and email file etc will be backed up.
The backups are to disk on the 'desktop backup server', which in turn is (should be) backed up to tape using a conventional backup product.
Vendors offering desktop backup products (often called laptop backup products as they work particularly well with laptops) include -

Looking at the quicknet technologies site the internet phone jack card seems to be a single port beast.
I would like to support 20 users in an office with 12-15 incoming lines.
Am I supposed to build a pc with 15 pci slots, one per card?
Budget: $AU 9-15k (approx 4 - 8k US).

That's actually AMD = 764 v's Intel = 784 so it's even closer than stated above, i.e. within 3%.
:-).
Like anyone would be able to tell
And my poor little Sunblade 100 is only 174. No wonder Solaris seems slower than linux.

As a rule of thumb, for each extra nine, add an extra zero...
