Re: All I want is a decent server!

Hi All,

	Just wanted to thank everyone for the emails... I've
decided to
combine them all into one :

About building it myself - Like has been said, looking for
hardware support
in a single place.

IXSystems/FreeBSDSystems - Have been contacted , all I'll
say.

Dell - I love them, I buy nothing else for Laptop and
Desktop, but I've
heard too many horror stories server wise with FreeBSD.

HardData/Silicon Mechanics - Thanks, will attempt to
contact

Needing 5.X load - Yea, its unfortunate but due to many
internal 
reasons I need to.

Being a server down / One to blame - EXCUSE ME?? I'm a
server down
because its *IS* running on the backup machine. As for being
the
one to blame, seeing that its a setup for my friends/family
and I
don't overspend besides the fact that it has 3
communications lines,
2 routers, 2 load balancers, 2 web servers in a cabinet in a
colo
center with 2 30A lines which go to different UPSs... Yea,
its
my fault I don't have any redundancy. <SHRUG>

Safari Micro - Contacted, waiting for reply.

			Thanks, Tuc

Most configurations are over 2K

/FreeBSDSystems

They seem even more expensive than ixsystems.


>Silicon Mechanics 


They are good and we once used them, but ixsystems has
worked better for us 
since they are more familiar with FreeBSD.
We also had some problems once with Silicon Mechanics and it
took too long 
to solve the problem. Ultimately we sent the machine back
and the 
replacement worked well, but it took too long to diagnose
the problem for 
them to send us a replacement server.
