Hi, |

I am new to this list. I have been using gentoo for about three months as a |
| 4 |
desktop machine and it is just great. |

Now I want to build a video server for two mac workstations doing video editing. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Please help me in giving some advice. |

The server is going to only do this job as a video server. The idea is to remote |
| 11 |
mount on the mac using netatalk or nfs. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I am using amd Athlon64 3000 on a MSI Neo 4 Platinum with 2Gb of ram. There is a |
| 14 |
Promise Raid card, EX8350, with 8 sata drives as Raid 5. The file system is |
| 15 |
going to be XFS. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The two macs are connected to this server using gigabit ethernet, cross cable. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Which is faster nfs or netatalk? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Any advice on how to setup the USE flags and the compile settings? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The reason on going with AMD64 is so that I can use the 64bit. Hoping that it |
| 24 |
would be faster with the hyper-transport. Any advice or gotcha that I should |
| 25 |
look out for. |

Please do comment. |
