Speaking of this issue, actually I'm planning to setup a box with a 24 |
| 13 |
SATA HDDs RAID5 array on a dual Opteron box intended to run Subversion |
| 14 |
to handle huge video files before this year end. I'm still afraid of |
| 15 |
using Gentoo because I'm not that yet convinced on it's stability |
| 16 |
especially when dealing file servers. I don't want to gamble and take a |
| 17 |
risk of my terabytes files but I also know that taking a risk is part of |
| 18 |
our life. Honestly, I'm choosing between Gentoo and CentOS 4.1. |
